I work in New York City and just finished a week where I had come in on my only day off and was then still held accountable for my seventh day. I explained I thought it was illegal to have me work 7 days in a row however it was brushed off. Then today when I informed my manager I felt sick due to exhaustion and could I go home I was told "no" and walked away from leaving me to feel as if I could not leave without disciplinary action. By the time my shift ended I could barely communicate with guests because my brain was working so slow. I'm also filed as a "part time" employee with this company and clocked out at 49 hrs this week. They have consistently been unable to break me after 6 hours and I have worked several 44+ weeks for them and I'm at my wits end. As a bartender I'm used to long hours however I relish the breaks due to being on my feet all day. What are my rights as an employee with this?
