Probably not but check with your State Labor Dept to see. Good luck.

Call the California Labor Board. They are usually very helpful, friendly and willing to read the law to you and to go after employers who clearly violate the law.  Most of the state employees who work labor departments are thrilled to go after employers who violate the law. This justifies their job and helps with their performance evaluations.\n\nIn this case, your employer may not be violating any law, so just get the facts directly from the Labor department. Help is a phone call away.

Florida is not a good state to work in as an anything.  It is a right to work state.  Most employers (not all, but most) have this crappy attitude towards their employees that is difficult to comprehend.  I have several friends who are CNAs in Florida.  They work long hours for low pay.  It is difficult to get in somewhere other than an ALF, because that is where the need is greatest.\n\n\nOn the other hand, as a CNA you will most certainly always be able to find work in Florida.  There is a shortage of caring, qualified health care professionals.  And there is that awesome weather....

Actually, breaks are covered under federal wage and hours laws. This is probably what you are looking for:\nhttp://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/whdfs22.htm\n\nThe site for the Georgia Department of Labor is:\nhttp://www.dol.state.ga.us/em/employment_laws_rules.htm

Your best bet is to consult an attorney. They don't charge too much for consultation services.\n\nMaybe start here:\n\nhttp://www.hg.org/employ.html\nhttp://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/laborlaws/l/aa102300_2.htm\nhttp://www.lawguru.com/\nhttp://www.cbia.com/HR/HRIssuesAndLaws/laborrelationsandunionlaws/default.htm

Without further details, perhaps The National Labor relations Board would be a starting point:\nhttp://www.nlrb.gov/nlrb/home/default.asp

Wow, This question could take hours to answer.  I am including a link to the Department of Labor and Industry, you should be able to find any specifics you require.  As for a brief over view, Pennsylvania is NOT a "right to work" state.  If your company is Union, then you must belong to the union, or pay a representation fee.  PA just instituted a higher than Federal Minimum wage, $6.25 next year then $7.15 the year after.  Here is the link for L&I\nhttp://www.dli.state.pa.us/

Natalie,\n\nYou need to localize this question to get a better answer.  Where did it occur?  Country, City, and State?  As there are laws at each level, there are going to be differences in answers that are appropriate for you depending on where it occurred and you want your answers to be spot on.\n\nWhere I've lived you can also check with your local state labor board, but I have no way of knowing if their mission is the same as my local state labor boards was.\n\nAre you in any way involved in a Union, because they have alternative grievance procedures?\n\n-EN-

You need to call the labor relation board in your state and see if that is legal. It doesn't sound like it but they would know the answers. You can do it without stating what company you work for.

"The [Federal] Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments.\n\nCalifornia enforces that law and has other laws that are related. There is a manual called the 2002 Division of Labor Standards Enforcement Policies and Interpretations Manual, which can be found here: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Manual-Instructions.htm\n\nThere is a "Handy Reference Guide to the Fair Labor Standards Act" which can be found at http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/hrg.htm\n\nI can't help you find the specific reference you are looking for. Perhaps it would help to have additional information if you have any.

There are no labor laws regarding vacations. Check with the department of labor for regulations, such as minimum wage and overtime after 40 hours.

Try asking first.\nThen try the Department of Labor.

Can depend in part on the job.  Ask your federal labor board, or go check out their website.  If they are doing wrong, the labor board may fine them and make them change it.
