We previously reported on a series of changes to New York Labor Law contained within the Wage Theft Prevention Act (“WTPA”) that are now applicable to all New York private-sector employers (including charter schools, private schools, and not-for-profit corporations). As discussed in our previous post, the WTPA requires New York employers to provide all employees with written pay notices at the time of hire and on or before February 1 of each year that include: the employee’s rate or rates of pay; the overtime rate of pay, if the employee is nonexempt; the basis of wage payment (e.g., per hour, per shift, per week, piece rate, commission, etc.); the allowances to be claimed against the minimum wage (e.g., tip, meal, and lodging allowances); the regular pay day; the employer’s name and any name under which the employer conducts business; the physical address of the employer’s main office or principal place of business (if different from the mailing address); and the employer’s telephone number.
