Sorry for the delay in responding.
The employees I’m referring to are paid minimum wage. Therefore by requiring an extra 2 or 4 weeks of work in the summer, (yes they are open with a day camp & child care in the summer) with no additional pay they are forcing the employees to either work for those 2 or 4 weeks unpaid or are paying below the minimum wage the rest if the year.
Maybe slavery is an overly harsh description but it is clearly wrong.
What options do the employees have?
Is it mesirah to report the school to the government?
If individual employees complain they risk not being rehired for next year.
