Listen to this note:
The San Mateo County unanimously accepted a grant of nearly $740,000, which will be used to strengthen efforts to investigate and prosecute deceitful employers who try to defraud their workers out of the wages to which they are entitled.
The state grant will fund a new deputy district attorney and a supporting investigator, as well as provide additional forensic auditor resources for the District Attorney's Office to investigate what are often complex cases.
