New Wage and Hour Law Impacts All New York Employers
An Overview and Considerations
The newly enacted New York Wage Theft Prevention Act takes effect on April 9, 2011 and impacts all New York State employers. In general, the law requires additional notice and recordkeeping by employers, increases the penalties (civil and criminal) for violations of wage and hour laws, provides increased protection against retaliation for workers who complain, and provides new administrative avenues for investigations and implementation of penalties regarding underpayment of wages. The Pro Bono Partnership has prepared a summary of the law's requirements and recommendations for compliance, available here.
