The New York State and federal wage and hour laws can be complex and tough to understand without the help of an attorney.
For example, as of January 1, 2024 the minimum wage was set at $16.00 and 1.5 times the regular rate of pay for overtime (when working more than 40 hours per week).
Unfortunately, some employers try to find loopholes to avoid paying employees for overtime hours. They might also try to disregard the minimum wage laws, or not give employees all the pay they are entitled to by law.
