How does Axial Shift handle New York restaurant labor laws?

What New York restaurants have to track

• Weekly overtime after 40 hours
• Spread-of-hours pay when a workday spans more than 10 hours, for employees at or near minimum wage
• Call-in pay when employees report to work and are sent home early
• Meal periods based on shift length and time of day
• New York City's Fair Workweek law for fast food employers, which requires schedules in advance and premiums for late changes

How Axial handles it

• Overtime, meal-break, rest-break and split-shift rules are set for each location, so every store follows its own state and city rules.
• The Daily Guide reminds managers before breaks come due, and upcoming breaks can show on the back-of-house display.
• Employees attest to their breaks, and Axial flags missed or late breaks for a manager to review. Axial doesn't change punches on its own, so your team stays in control of the record.
• Axial calculates New York premium pay, including spread-of-hours, call-in pay and NYC Fair Workweek premiums for late schedule changes.
• Axial's labor rules cover the edge cases, not just the basics.
• A break audit report shows compliance and premium-pay exposure by store and employee.
• Minor rules are enforced in scheduling, with each store's school calendar.
• Hours count toward overtime across every store an employee works at, and managers approve punches before payroll.

Schedules are built and published ahead in Axial, Axial calculates the premiums when they change late, and a change log shows who changed each schedule and when.
