NYS Labor Law Amended to Require Written Notice of Wages on Hire

Governor Paterson recently signed into law an Amendment to the New York State Labor Law affecting employer record keeping requirements.  Generally:

Section 1 of the bill would amend Labor Law 195(1) to require employers to provide employees with written notice at the time of hire of their regular and overtime hourly wage rates, and to obtain a written acknowledgment of receipt of this notice.

The law will go into effect 90 days after the Governor signed it on July 28th.
