Bill > A01000

This bill amends the New York Labor Law to require employers to pay employees the minimum wage for any time during a split shift that exceeds one hour when the employee is not actively working. A split shift is a work schedule where an employee's workday is divided into two or more distinct periods with significant breaks in between, such as working a morning shift and then returning for an evening shift. Under this proposed legislation, if an employee has more than one hour of unpaid time between work periods during a split shift, the employer must compensate the employee at least at the minimum wage rate for those additional hours. This provision aims to provide fair compensation for workers who are required to be available but not actively working during split shift arrangements, potentially benefiting employees in industries like food service or hospitality where split shifts are more common. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment.
