New York Department of Labor Update: Use of NYDOL’s Pay Date and Pay Rate Notice and Acknowledgement Form is Not Required

As noted in our October 13 and November 4, 2009 Alerts, New York Labor Law § 195 was recently amended to require employers to provide all newly hired employees with written notice of their regular pay day and rate of pay prior to the time they do any work and to obtain written acknowledgement from each new hire of the receipt of this notice.
