Overview
New York state and California have a labor rule known as ‘Split Shifts’.
Workers are entitled to additional pay known as a “split shift premium” when their schedule includes a split shift.
The split shift premium is one hour at the state minimum wage, or the local minimum wage if there is one, whichever is greater.
If the employee earns more than the minimum wage, then any money earned over and above the state, or local, minimum wage will be credited towards the employer’s obligation to pay the split shift premium.
In New York, the law applies to all employees whose Industries do not have their own Minimum Wage Order.
