N.Y. Labor Law § 144: Posting of hours

§ 144. Posting of hours. 1. The employer shall make a schedule for

all minors employed by the employer, setting forth the hours of

beginning and stopping and the time allowed for meals, which shall be

kept conspicuously posted in each establishment where such persons are

employed.

A change in the schedule of hours worked by minors pursuant to the

provisions of this chapter shall be allowed provided that the posted

schedule reflects the change. Nothing herein shall be construed so as

to affect the limitations on hours worked by such minors as set forth

elsewhere in this chapter.

2. The presence of any person subject to this article at any hours

other than those stated in the above notice, or the failure to post such

notice, shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation of this

article.

3. Where a person is employed in two or more establishments on the

same day or week, the total time of employment shall not exceed that

allowed per day or week in a single establishment.

4. Exception. If the commissioner finds that because of the nature of

the work in a factory it is practically impossible to fix the hours of

work weekly in advance, he may upon an application stating facts showing

the necessity therefor, grant a permit dispensing with the poster

required by this section. In every factory operating under such a

permit, a time book shall be kept in a form approved by the commissioner

showing the name and addresses of all employees subject to this

subdivision and the hours worked by each of them on each day. No person

shall knowingly make or suffer to be made a false entry in any such time

book. Such time book shall be kept for a period of six years and shall

be available upon request of the commissioner at the place of

employment. The permit shall be posted conspicuously in the factory, and

the commissioner may revoke the permit for failure to comply with the

provisions of this subdivision.
