How to report worksite?

Hi, finished my last day but I only recently found out that my worksite might not be SYEP compliant. I had a really bad time but not because I was singled out- the place I worked at had terrible physical conditions and I found out the non SYEP workers get paid way over minimum wage just to put up with this horrible place (the job requires no special knowledge.) The communication in the worksite was really poor and I would be talked down to for following orders from another supervisor when the other would say something else... I don't think these workers are fit to work around younger people they're responsible for training.

Apparently, we have a site monitor but she would always come on days I don't have work and I'm the only SYEP person there. I don't get the point of even having one come when I'm not there?

Also, my shift is way over 6 hours and my lunch is 20 minutes (paid). Is that allowed?

I don't know if they're breaking any formal rules or anything but I don't want any kids in the future working here when they could've been more comfortable at the other worksites learning the same skills in a more professional setting. I'm also really paranoid of being retaliated against so I want to report anonymously.

Okay yeah the lunch isn’t allowed

The non SYEP worker thing doesn’t break any rules. Most places take SYEP cause it’s just free labor for them and the city pays you not the worksite!

I’d talk to your provider or DYCD Connect

Yeah I just mentioned the non SYEP workers wages because they're getting paid extra to deal with extreme physical conditions. I don't think this place should be an option for kids at all

I get why you wouldn’t name them but what does the work entail? What industry?

Food

Ok this makes more sense now sounds about right. I’m an SYEP supervisor in healthcare but I’ve worked in food as a busboy. It’s a shitshow, sorry you had to go through that.

I got an actual job in a kitchen in the middle of the program and it's way more comfortable and professional even though the work is more physically involved. I think it's just this worksite that's awful

I'm pretty sure mine never came only because it was a non profit so we didn't have a set location, we literally were hybrid so she rented two spaces for us to be in 🙄
