My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: New York
So, a friend of mind works for a privately owned business. I will only disclose the field of which said business is if necessary. They have been clocking in and leaving, on days scheduled, and on days not scheduled. Essentially stealing money, or getting paid to do nothing, whatever you wish to call it. This business is on the verge of falling apart, is short staffed, & may not have time to look into this issue. However, I'm looking to do more research for their sake. I'd like to prove to them that they can get into trouble for time theft. Now, I know that time theft laws vary depending upon the state, hence why I'm here... During my research it's been unclear as to what NYS laws are on this topic, all I could find are time theft laws for government agencies(which this is not). Again, privately owned business. So, I'd say my friend has gotten paid 750-1000$ for work that they have not done(in other words, clocked in and leaving) what could get done to my friend? Keep in mind that this business is already lacking time, employees, and funds. Can he be sued, prosecuted, etc?... and if so what is the likelihood of that given the current circumstances? Thank you!
