Hello. I have two questions. I work in hospitality job in NY state.
1 question:
I'm working for the third time as a Groundskeeper. It's my summer work on J1 visa in the same hotel. I worked summer 2017, 2018 and now 2019. Every summer I work around 110 days. My employer refuse to pay me extra for holidays like 4 of July and Labour Day. He said that I need to finish 90days period because when I quit job and come back they register me as a new employee. Is it true that I do not suppose to be paid extra for holidays if I work only for summer? In 2018 they paid me extra for holidays but this year employer said that was a mistake in a system and I do not suposse to receive extra pay.
2 question:
How 10Hours Spread works in NY state? Is it right that employer suposse to pay me extra minimum wage for staying at work more than 10hours one day? I get paid when I work in two diffrent departments (groundskeeping and kitchen). For example I work 7AM-11AM in kitchen and switch for groundskeeping for 12PM-9PM. In this situations I receive extra minimum wage on my paycheck. But when I do more then 10hr in one department my employer refuse to pay me extra. Sometimes I have to work more than 9h 30mins + one 30mins break = it makes 10hours or more. My employer said that if I work in one department more than 10hr Im not going to receive extra minimum wage pay. Is it true or I suposse to recive extra pay?
Thank you for answers.
