Model Notice Issued NYS Labor Law Section 195
The New York State Department of Labor has just issued a model notice for employers and a fact sheet (for both employers and employees) explaining the new requirement under Labor Law Section 195 which requires employers to advise new hourly employees of, among other things:
- their hourly rate
- their potential overtime rate
The form also includes notice of pay days which was already required under state law. The State DOL had previously issued a model notice for temporary agencies. Interestingly, in a new twist, it appears that the DOL is now requiring that you use their particular form.
You can find these notices/forms here, and should complete them in accordance with your particular organizational situation.
