Minors 17, if not attending school, may work full time throughout the year. http://www.labor.state.ny.us/workerprotection/laborstandards/workprot/schlattd.shtm Also, they will need a work permit too since they are under 18. http://411newyork.org/guide/2007/06/29/obtain-working-permits-in-new-york/

You will find this pdf useful: published by the New York State Department of Labor on December 1, 2009 http://wpp.labor.state.ny.us/wpp/viewPrevailingWageSchedule.do?county=24 Overtime holiday pay is the premium pay that is required for work performed on specified holidays. It is only required where the employee actually performs work on such holidays. The applicable holidays are listed under HOLIDAYS: OVERTIME. The required rate of pay for these covered holidays can be found in the OVERTIME PAY section listings for each classification.

Can I receive unemployment benefits if I live in Canada but work in New York

Can I receive unemployment benefits if I live in Canada but work in New York?
I currently live in Montreal, QC. I drive down to Plattsburgh, NY daily to work. I would like to know if my residential location will affect my eligibility for NYS unemployment benefits.

Sure-as long as you were working there legally and paid into it.... http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ei/information/outside_canada.shtml#How http://www.labor.state.ny.us/ui/claimantinfo/beforeyouapplyfaq.shtm#21 Edit...The asker CLEARLY says NYS ( New York State) benefits...not Canadian...other people are missing something here.

You don't get unemployment if you are working. Are you filing for taxes in both countries? Edit: unemployment benefits are built up from contributions from your Canadian salary. No contributions, no benefits. Edit: Merely confining my remarks to something I know.

i have no idea. When it comes to issues of this sort, which can be fraught with technicalities, your best bet is to go the the NYS unemployment office and ask how your eligibility might be affected.
