Representing employees and protecting their rights since 1977

When starting up a business, it is important for businessmen to know the rules and regulations that relate to their business. Once they start operating and begin hiring employees, they need to make sure that they are aware of and remain abreast of changing employment laws. In addition to this, when a New York employee begins working in a new company and signs their employment contract, they need to know what their rights are and ensure that they are being protected.

As mentioned in last week’s post, there are a number of employment law changes set to take place in 2016, due to the amendment of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act among other bills. New minimum wages have been introduced for some workers and fines have been raised for violations of occupational safety violations. In order to ensure regulations are being adhered to, it is important to be aware of what they are.
