Undocumented workers in N.J. must be paid minimum wage, state Supreme Court rules

Undocumented workers in N.J. must be paid minimum wage mandated by state law, according to a recent state Supreme Court ruling. The decision centers an undocumented immigrant from Newark who worked for a residential and commercial realty company for more than three years without pay. Chief Justice Stuart Rabner’s ruling reverses lower court decisions that ruled in favor of the employer. The case will return to trial court to determine damages owed to the employee.
