New York wage theft law promises major change for contractors
New York’s new wage theft law – expected to have a major impact on the construction industry state-wide – went into effect on January 4th, 2022 and will apply to contracts executed, modified, extended, or renewed from that date forward. Most notably, the law will impose (a) greater liability risk on prime contractors, and (b) reporting requirements on subcontractors.
