Re: Holiday Pay The New York State minimum increased to $6.00 per hour as of January 1, 2005. It will increase to $6.75 per hour as of January 1, 2006 and to $7.15 per hour as of January 1, 2007. Any increase in the federal wage above the state rate will result in an increase in the state's minimum wage.
Overtime Rate: For most occupations, employees must be paid overtime after 40 hours of work in a week at 1½ times their hourly rate of pay. For residential employees, the overtime rate applies after 44 hours.
There are no specific holiday or Sunday rates, they are subject to agreements between the employer/employee or union.
This is true for most industries. For more detail goto the NYS Dept. of Labor's website at http://www.labor.state.ny.us/business_ny/employer_responsibilities/workprot/lshmpg.htm or call them or your attorney. |
