New York  |  Employment Law

You must be given a minimum 30 minute meal break (does not have to be a paid break).

Overtime pay must be paid in excess of 40 hours per week. If you are not receiving either of these you should contact The New York State Department of Labor. I'm not sure which office is the closest to you but I have listed a few below for your convenience.

I agree, you are entitled to half an hour for lunch for a full day of work.

Have you complained to your union about your problems at work?

Have you filed a complaint with the National Labour Relations Board or the NYS Department of Labour?

have you complaint to Human Resources about your workings conditions?
