Sabe cómo los créditos de propinas afectan su salario?
Muchos trabajadores de restaurantes reciben propinas como parte de su compensación, y un crédito de propinas permite a los empleadores pagar a sus trabajadores por debajo del salario mínimo, siempre que tanto las propinas como los salarios sumen al menos el salario mínimo. Sin embargo, muchos empleadores pueden intentar aprovechar el crédito de propinas, por lo que es importante mantenerse informado.
Nuestro último blog analiza lo siguiente:
- ¿Cuál es el salario mínimo en Nueva York?
- ¿Cuánto es el crédito de propina?
- ¿Cómo se aplica el crédito de propinas a las horas extras?
- ¡Y más!

Ha escuchado sobre el reciente fallo de la NLRB que limita las restricciones que los empleadores pueden imponer a los empleados que reciben una indemnización por despido después de haber sido despedidos o despedidos?
La NLRB dictaminó que los empleadores ya no pueden incluir lenguaje de confidencialidad y no menosprecio en los acuerdos de indemnización ofrecidos a estos empleados, ya que esas disposiciones restringirían los derechos otorgados a esos empleados en virtud de la Sección 7 de la Ley Nacional de Relaciones Laborales. El fallo restauró un precedente de larga data y revocó dos decisiones de la NLRB de 2020 que consideraban tales disposiciones ilegales solo cuando estaban conectadas con otra conducta ilegal del empleador.

Did you know that a creditor can satisfy a New York judgment against a debtor by levying on and selling the debtor’s real property if it is located within the state?

Our latest blog provides further insight including:
- How to levy on real property
- The homestead exemption

A los empleados asalariados no se les paga por hora, aun cuando pueden ser elegibles para el pago de horas extras.
Los empleados clasificados como “no exentos” tienen derecho al pago de horas extras por cualquier hora que trabajen sobre las 40 horas por semana, independientemente de si se les paga un salario fijo o un salario por hora. Sin embargo, algunos empleados asalariados son clasificados erróneamente como “exentos”, privándolos de los salarios de horas extras a los que se les debe legalmente.
Muchos empleados a los que se les paga un salario, tienen derecho al pago de horas extras según sus deberes laborales y cuánto ganan. Si le preocupa que haya sido clasificado erróneamente, un abogado con experiencia puede ayudarle a navegar estos problemas y garantizar que esté clasificado y compensado adecuadamente.
