New Notice Obligations For New York Employers

Effective October 26, 2009, amendments to New York Labor Law Section 195 require employers to furnish written notification to all persons hired on and after that date of their regular rate of pay and regular pay day. The written notice to non-exempt employees (e.g., those who are eligible for overtime) must include a statement of the regular hourly rate as well as the actual overtime pay rate. Employers must obtain from each new hire a written acknowledgment/receipt of the required notice. Now, there's a nice, pre-Halloween present for you.
