The New York Division of Labor Standards is responsible for administering the state labor law provisions relating to minimum wages, overtime, unpaid agreed wages, unpaid agreed wage supplements, child labor, illegal industrial homework, the garment industry, equal pay, day of rest, meal periods, restrictions on consecutive hours of work for nurses and related provisions.Duration:                  The agreement will expire five years from October 3, 2024.Quote:                        “At the Wage and Hour Division, protecting the most vulnerable workers in our country, our children, is our top priority,” said Wage and Hour Division District Director Michael Milazzo in Albany, New York. “We are intent upon uncovering and pursuing child labor law violators. Working with our state partners in this effort is just one of many tools we utilize in promoting and achieving compliance of labor laws.”“Ensuring young people are protected in the workplace is a top priority,” said New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon. “Violating labor laws is unacceptable, and it’s particularly egregious when it involves vulnerable workers who are just entering the workforce. NYSDOL is enhancing our strong collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor to help employers comply with labor laws focused on keeping children safe in the workplace. This is essential to empowering and protecting New York’s workforce, and we are a proud partner in this ongoing endeavor.” body { font-size: 1em; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: #333333; }
