If you are owed wages

Where to file a wage claim in Maryland

In Maryland a wage claim can go to the state: Wage Issues, Having Problems with My Pay, The Maryland Guide to Wage Payment and Employment Standa takes claims under state law, which often covers more than the federal rules. The federal route is the Division's page on how to file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division with what to send and where. The Division also keeps a search of back wages owed to workers it collected and could not deliver.

Straight answers

Maryland wage and hour records, questions

How many wage and hour cases does the Labor Department record in Maryland?

3,963 closed investigations of 3,082 employers between fiscal 2005 and the April 22, 2026 snapshot, 3,042 of them with a violation found, with $131,905,929 in back wages agreed and $5,500,989 in civil money penalties.

Which Maryland employer owed the most back wages?

MD Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections of Baltimore, with $22,481,188 agreed across 2 cases, which is the top of the table above.

Does this record include claims filed with the state?

No. It is the federal file alone: investigations the Wage and Hour Division closed. Claims filed with a state labor office, private lawsuits and settlements are not in it, so an employer missing here is not an employer with a clean record.

What does back wages agreed mean?

The amount the employer agreed to pay the workers the Division found were owed, computed at the federal minimum wage and overtime rates. It is not a court judgment, and the file records the agreement, not whether every dollar was paid.

How current is the record?

The Department refreshes the file about once a quarter. This page reads the snapshot dated April 22, 2026, whose latest closed case is from March 2026.

Where do I file a wage claim in Maryland?

In Maryland a wage claim can go to the state: Wage Issues, Having Problems with My Pay, The Maryland Guide to Wage Payment and Employment Standa takes claims under state law, which often covers more than the federal rules. The federal route is the Division's page on how to file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division with what to send and where. The Division also keeps a search of back wages owed to workers it collected and could not deliver.

Where this record comes from

The record comes from the Wage and Hour Division compliance action data published by the U.S. Department of Labor, snapshot dated April 22, 2026 and read for this page on November 5, 2026, counted here by employer, year, industry, county and city for Maryland alone. The Wage and Hour Division made the findings. The Maryland public records page lists the state's other record offices, and the national wage theft records page ranks every state.

Disclaimer. The wage and hour information here is for general information only. It comes from the Labor Department's closed case file as the Department publishes it, which can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and a case on this record is not a court judgment and not an admission by the employer.
