To preface, this isn't about me, but about a coworker. We work overnights together and are paid by the hour. She just discovered that her management has been putting lunches into her reported time as it's required by law to take a thirty minute if a shift is over six hours.
That's cool, except they don't tack on thirty minutes at the end of the shift to compensate. This is leading to 1 1/2 to 3 hours of overtime each week being lost. This has been going on since November, and likely even earlier. Is there a court case for this, or should it be settled with backpay for lost hours?
Thanks.
P.s. we live in New York.
