The Levinbook Law Firm, P.C. advises real estate clients in the New York Metropolitan Area on leasing and employment issues related to New York labor laws. New York has a complicated minimum wage system that varies by location, industry, and business size, with fast food workers outside of New York City earning $12.75 per hour gradually increasing to $15 by 2021, while those in the city already earn $15. Labor laws also mandate overtime pay of 1.5 times normal hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a week, though some exceptions apply such as domestic workers receiving overtime after 44 hours.
