Reply To: Slavery in NY School?

Wow, Milhouse that’s great! Let’s inform all NYC employers to just call it a salary and then they are magically exempt from the minimum wage law. Not sure where you live, but that’s not how it works.
I clearly wrote “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.”, yet you blithely ignore that by writing “The federal minimum salary is $23,660 a year, and I’m sure they’re getting more than that.”
The whole purpose of the NYS minimum wage law is to raise it and the federal levels to a “living wage” yet somehow you in your brilliance have somehow managed to subvert the whole system.
In any case that is irrelevant since the only ones exempt from the state laws are certain professional occupations which do not include childcare workers.
