Report Link Independent Contractor Or Employee? New York Employers Can Expect Increased Scrutiny.Jackson Lewis LLP - September 11, 2007 For years, labor organizations and employee advocacy groups have asserted that employers regularly misclassify individuals providing services as "independent contractors," rather than "employees," depriving these individuals of basic workplace rights and costing the government significant amounts of employee-based revenue, such as social security, workers' compensation and unemployment contributions. Further, they argue that such practices put "law-abiding" employers at a competitive disadvantage. This issue has been the subject of much discussion recently, including congressional hearings earlier this year. New York employers now must take specific note. Report Link New York Mandates Leave for Military Spouses.Ford & Harrison LLP - October 24, 2006 New York is the first state to require employers to grant an unpaid leave of absence of up to 10 days to an employee whose spouse who is on leave from service with the armed forces in a combat zone.

Report Link New York Employers Must Obtain Proof of Age From "Youthful" Employees.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - March 22, 2006 With little fanfare, New York State has amended its Labor Law to require employers to maintain "proof of age" of employees claiming to be between 18 and 25 years old.
