If you work long hours and feel like your paycheck doesn’t match the work you’ve done, you’re not alone. Many New Yorkers — especially workers in restaurants, cleaning, construction, delivery, retail, domestic work, and caregiving — experience wage theft every year.
Wage theft can include:
- Not being paid the minimum wage
- Not getting overtime pay
- Having money taken out of your paycheck illegally
- Being paid “off the books”
- Not getting paid at all for some hours you worked
Understanding your rights — and knowing what to do next — can feel confusing or scary. That’s why Reclamo AI was created.
What Is Reclamo AI?
Reclamo AI is a free, easy-to-use chatbot that helps New York workers:
- Learn about their workplace rights
- Understand whether what’s happening at work might be illegal
- Find trusted places to get help
Reclamo AI was built by Justicia Lab and the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG), organizations that work every day to support workers and protect their rights.
Reclamo AI is not a lawyer, and it does not replace legal help — but it can help you understand your situation and your options.
