Understanding New York minimum wages and wage theft

There are two bodies of law that employers must follow to avoid a lawsuit from their employees. They have to abide by federal law and New York law. Some points of either body of law are more beneficial to the employee depending on the type of legal action being taken. When it comes to minimum wages, the state of New York has a higher minimum wage that the federal law. This means our NYC employee rights attorneys can help if your fast food restaurant is only paying you the federal minimum wage.
