I’ve been working at a restaurant/bar as a busser for a few months now. Since it is the holidays and lots of people will be out of town they have given us our schedule for the entire month. I got Christmas off so I now work on New Years Eve. I don’t mind working on New Years but the problem is that we are extending our hours and will now be open until 2am.
Well ,where I live people under the age of 18 cannot work between midnight and 6am. Plus it would be over an 8 hour shift 4pm-2am. And I would only be working with one other person. I have tried to talk to my managers about this problem. But they have continually ignored me, saying “Well no one else can work and you got Christmas off” And on top of all of this, I’m scheduled to work everyday from December 28 to January 6 because most of my coworkers are going on vacation.
I don’t know what to do. I mean it is literally against youth employment laws. But the managers have threatened to fire anyone who causes problems during the busy holiday season. What should I do?
