An Important Short Outline Involving » Employment Law Part Time Staff Coupled With Similar Analyses
A few questions about MA retail employment laws.?
In a store, about 6000 sq ft, with 10+ employees, is it legal to...
Schedule employees for over 7 consecutive days?
Consider an employee part-time when they work an average of 40 hours per week?
Require a part time employee to work over 40 hours a week due to under staffing.
Schedule a person to work alone their entire shift, and prohibit them from closing the store, making it impossible to take a break or use a restroom.
Prohibit members of management from leaving the store, even when other employees are working.
Failure to pay 1.5x pay on sundays unless there are 8 employees working on any one given day that week.
The use of false information/evidence by loss prevention in an attempt to coerce employees into admitting to wrong doing, then telling the employee that they were required to lie about the content of the conversation or that they would be fired for insubordination.
http://www.mass.gov/Cago/docs/Workplace/wageandhour_complaintform.pdf is the form you use to make a complaint about not being paid properly.
You are allowed to take a 30 min unpaid meal break if your shift lasts more than 6 hours; if you can't/don't take this break, you must be paid for the whole time you are working.
MA law does not distinguish between part time and full time employees, so yes, a part time employee can work more than 40 hours a week.
I don't think there are any rules against working 7 days per week, so long as weekly overtime is paid - Time and a half for any hours over 40.
You have the right to view your payroll file, at a reasonable time and place. Your employer can't refuse a reasonable request.
What Part of "Legal" Don't You Understand, Lou?
