What is triage?
Triage is a system an agency uses to sort cases into different treatment categories and to decide which complaints to prioritize for full investigations, such as those where:
• The worker is still employed• The issue is ongoing, not in the past• More than one worker is affected• Risk of retaliation is high• Wage theft is occurring frequently in the industry or occupation involved • Business is a repeat offender
