INCREASED OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY NEW HIRES OF EMPLOYMENT TERMS

Posted in Law ::: August 13, 2009 3:44 PM

The New York Legislature is still jamming that sausage casing full of legal obligations for New York employers.  Once October 26, 2009 hits, employers will be required  to notify new hires in writing and advise them of both their regular hourly rate and their overtime rate.  The employer will also have to obtain a written acknowledgment from each employee that they received this notice.  And as a reminder, Section 195 of the Labor Law also still requires employers to provide written notification of changes in paydays and time-off policies to their employees.  I only bring the mail folks.

    I’m curious, is there a place to see the whole text of this rule, Greg? I’m also wondering what the purpose of this is. As you can imagine, in the staffing business this will be an absolute nightmare, and could potentially be a barrier to employment for employees who don’t have transportation to sign this document prior to starting work. I need to get as much information as possible on this…
