Wage Theft Prevention Act

Repeal an Onerous New Labor Law Mandate

New York adopted the Wage Theft Prevention Act in late 2010. The Act required that all private employers provide a pay notice to all new employees beginning in April 2011. In addition, beginning THIS YEAR and every year thereafter, employers are required to give an additional pay notice, during the month of January, to each and every employee in the state, obtain their employees’ signatures on the notice, and retain copies for six years.

This is not as simple as it sounds. Business Council members are already reporting that this new mandate will take a lot of time for staff and employees and incur additional payroll system costs.

Join us in urging our Assembly members, state Senators and the Governor to repeal this unnecessary annual pay notice requirement. To read our bill memo in opposition to this legislation click here.
