Wage and Hour Exemptions
Employees may be exempt from wage and hour laws based on criteria associated with their salary, actual duties, and skills. Exempt employees neither receive overtime pay nor qualify for minimum wage. New York labor law defines these exemptions based on Executive, Administrative, or Professional status. Learn more here.
New York Labor Law Poster Update
All businesses within the State of New York must display the Minimum Wage poster along with other state-mandated posting requirements where it is sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. This change has been reflected in our New York & Federal Labor Law Poster and does require an immediate mandatory update. Failure to meet compliance requirements and display the updated poster could result in fines.
