He gave 2 tickets
On parking one he didn't
on failing to display a scannable registration he did

I mean, according to the text you posted above, I would think the parking ticket should be tossed.

But since law is a prediction of how a judge will rule, knowing how NYC parking works, I would not be surprised either way.

Wrong plate type is automatic dismissal. i.e. PAS instead of SRF or COM

There are 5 statutory automatic dismissals on NYC parking violations. Wrong registration expiration date. Wrong Plate, Wrong Make, Model and wrong registration type. (This is from memory. But I believe I got them all.)

You still dont have to respond as it will never hit your plate if its the wrong plate type. If you want to be safe respond and invoke statutory automatic dismissal.

Its not in the actual statute. Its in the practice commentaries.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

What are the laws regarding salaried vs. hourly employees in NY?

Is pay allowed to be docked if I'm short on clocked hours one week?

I feel this is unfair since I will work OT on other weeks without getting the OT pay an hourly employee would get...

and the OT doesn't accrue/carry over to balance out shortages?

No.

I get 40hrs of PTO annually which I like to save for vacation/sick leave or unpaid YT days (like Chol Hamoed)

I don't qualify for OT since I recently switched to a salary instead of hourly wage.

Sounds like you're getting some paid YT days that hourly employees don't...

No, those YT days are paid for the entire company.

So hourly employees get YT pay? so why would you switch to salary?

That's not a disqualifier iirc

it might not disqualify automatically, but I believe (over a certain salary) it allows employers to cancel. Didn't BHO raise that number recently?

I'm a manager- pretty sure that disqualifies me from OT.

Yes, that would do it.

I wonder if the wash sale rule applies to non-U.S. persons.
I would think so. But how is that relevant here if we a discussing a gain?

But it should at the same time exempt him from getting docked.

It's not that. Unless you're contractually obligated to work X number of hours, I don't see how they dock your pay. If they don't like your performance they can fire you but you have to get paid your salary.

Unless this was agreed to before hand (in a handbook or such).
If you don't care why would you comment?

From my previous posts in this thread- you might have guessed things weren't going to well for me...  ;)

My contract stipulated that I would provide 6 weeks written notice prior to leaving.

I emailed my employers of my resignation- and we had a verbal agreement that the 6 weeks time would not be necessary and I was free to leave immediately.

The following day my employers offered me a different position and different salary and I accepted. I was not presented with a new contract.

However, the position still didn't work out and I resigned yesterday- giving 1 day notice.

In the absence of a new contract- does it revert to stipulations of my previous contract?

My employer claims that I owe him 4 weeks notice as stipulated in my contract (he is wrong about the 4 weeks- my last contract required 6 weeks.)

Is he going to sue you?

I hope not.

Does he have grounds to sue?
