What is labor trafficking, and why should employers be aware of it?

Labor trafficking happens when a person is forced to work through threats, fraud, or coercion. Employers should understand the signs because trafficking can occur in any industry, and workplaces with wage violations or unsafe conditions may be at higher risk. Recognizing and addressing concerns early helps protect workers and ensures compliance with state law.
