A Note on Undocumented Workers

Most federal and state laws providing worker protections apply to all workers - undocumented as well as documented workers. In most cases, undocumented workers have the right to workers' compensation, safe workplaces, union membership, prompt payment of wages, and overtime pay. However, unemployment benefits and many forms of public assistance are not available to undocumented workers.
