Reply To: Slavery in NY School?

Milhouse; Not sure I follow you. The minimum wage in NYC for an employer with over 10 employees is $15 an hour. Are you saying that if an employer pays a “salary” he is somehow exempt from the NYS minimum wage law?
The contract only lists a monthly wage, with a note to “see the director for your summer hours”.
The amount of the monthly check when multiplied by 12 and divided by # of hours worked over 10 months equals the $15 minimum wage. Therefore the extra 2 or 4 weeks of full time work are either not being paid for or the regular wage is pushed below minimum which is seemingly illegal.
For full timers there, it’s about 31 hours a week equaling a ten month salary of $20,134.50 which is below the federal minimum you site.
Now what?
