Section 29 provides a minimum code to facilitate such a termination without cause. Once an employer complies with that provision to bring an employment to an end there is no unfair dismissal claim that would lie, unless the employee has better terms under his contract of employment for termination without cause.
Employees have a right to sue to collect wages, but it is often more practical to complain to the Labor Standards Division of the New York State Department of Labor, which has many local offices around the state.

To report a company to the labor board anonymously, contact your state's Labor Commissioner's office by phone or online. Specify that you want to file the complaint anonymously. Most states allow for anonymous reporting, but there may be limitations to ensure the investigation can proceed effectively.
A BOFE representative will review the report to determine whether to investigate the employer. If BOFE starts an investigation, it may inspect the worksite, issue citations for violations, work with the employer to correct the problem, and collect any unpaid wages owed to workers.
