Looks like you have it ok in NY as well. I worked in the south in a "right to work" state. The base hours were 45 and you were expected to be in your desk by 7:30. They had automatic badge readers on the door which when unlock when your badge got within a few feet of it. One of the executives was using the data from these to see when people were coming in and wanted to start punishing people for clocking in after 7:25. He figured you needed 5 minutes to get in your desk. All internet was disabled by default. If your job absolutely required something you would need to go through red tape to get the specific site you need turned on. Vacation was 1-2 weeks after you finished your first year, 3 weeks after 7 years and 4 weeks after 15.
