New wage and hour math in NY
Thursday, September 24th, 2009
In the State of New York it will pay employers to be legally literate starting November 25, 2009.
That’s when a new state law goes into effect that gets tougher on wage and hour violations. More specifically, the penalty for complaints about wage and hour violations will increase from $200 to $1,000 and for employers who retaliate against employees who exercise their legal right to be paid fairly under the wage and hour laws the maximum penalty goes from $2,000 to $10,000.
I’ve said before that wage and hour laws are no place to cut corners and it’s now truer than ever before.
