 Wage and Hour Claims on Long IslandMany of the nearly eight million Long Island residents also work here. These millions of employees work in millions of jobs that are subject to wage and hour requirements under state and federal law.
For instance, with respect to overtime, both the New York State law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) require that employers pay overtime to those individuals who are not "exempt" from the overtime requirements. Non-exempt employees covered by the FLSA must receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek of at least 1 ½ their regular rates of pay. More information on the FLSA is available here: http://www.dol.gov/ Similarly, the New York State Minimum Wage Orders establish overtime requirements, which are in addition to those required by federal law. Most employees must receive overtime pay at the rate of 1½ times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a single work week. In addition, some occupations that are exempt from overtime under the federal FLSA, are still entitled to overtime under the New York State law. More information on NYS law is available here: http://www.labor.ny.gov/ The Law Offices of Mark A.
