My husband works at a local sushi restaurant as a sushi chef. The only way he could be a chef was if he went full time. But the only way he can be full time is salary. Well my husband took the job but soon realized that he was working 56 hours a week, 6 days a week, with only Mondays off. His boss won't let him take off a day no matter what it is for, because they are understaffed but refuses to hire anyone else. But to top it all off for working 112 hours in two weeks he gets paid a little under 500 dollars. It just doesn't seem right to me. Is there anything than can be done? Also the sushi bar makes tips and the waiters tip out to the sushi bar, but the owner is taking them off the top because he makes 40 dollars in tips in a two week period, and it's been counted over 100 dollars in one night and it's supposed to be split three ways between the sushi chefs (3). What can we do about this?

No he has no say of his hours. The owner has even told me that I should never expect him to get another day off because he has Mondays off and he's paying him for all the others. He doesn't budge on hours at all.
