A regulation that clarifies and specifies the acceptable methods by which employers in New York State may pay wages to certain employees will take effect on March 7, 2017. The regulation, adopted by the state’s Department of Labor earlier this fall and codified at section 192 of the New York Labor Law, covers the traditional methods of payment of wages by cash and check, but also sets forth the procedures employers must follow when paying wages by direct deposit or payroll debit card. According to the new regulation, all employees who work in New York State are covered, other than persons employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity earning over $900 per week, or employees working on a farm not connected with a factory.
