NYS Labor Dept. Changes Its Mind On Notice For New Hires

Posted in Law ::: December 9, 2009 2:19 PM

Previously, we gave you the link for the form that the New York State Department of Labor was requiring to be used to notify new hires of their pay rate and overtime rate.  It was said at the time that the form they gave a link to, was the required form to use.  Not anymore apparently.  It now says on the DOL site that: "No particular form is required.  Employers may create their own forms, or use and/or adapt a sample form available at the link below.  In the near future, sample forms for a variety of pay agreements (salaried, prevailing rate, exempt, and others) will be provided here."  You can read this for yourself at: http://www.labor.state.ny.us/workerprotection/laborstandards/workprot/lshmpg.shtm

The Department of Labor, I assume, realized what myself and a client realized the first time we went to use the form - it did not work for every situation and some modifications are necessary.  It appears they are now allowing for just that.  Go figure, a government agancy changed its mind.
