Seyfarth Synopsis: New York's
expanded list of permissible wage deductions has been extended
until 2020.
Here's a welcome development for New York employers for the
New Year: the Labor Law provision that expanded the
permissible grounds for deductions from employees' wages has
been extended through November 2020.
As we reported
previously, those provision expired on November 6, 2018.
Although both houses of the Legislature passed a bill in June 2018
to extend the law, Governor Andrew Cuomo did not sign it until
December 2018. In lieu of making the provisions permanent,
however, the new enactment simply extends the expiration
date until November 2020, eight years following the law's
initial effective date in November 2012. The amendment was
first set to expire in 2015 until Governor Cuomo signed a bill
extending the expiration date to November 6, 2018.
