The New York Instructions for Completing the "Article 19-A Annual Affidavit of Compliance" is a document that must be completed and submitted annually by employers in the state of New York. The document is used to certify that the employer is in compliance with the New York State Labor Law, Article 19-A, which governs the employment of minors. It must be completed with the employer's name, address, and contact information, as well as the name and address of the person signing the affidavit. The affidavit must also include the type of business or industry conducted by the employer, the number of minors employed by the employer, the total number of hours worked by minors, and any other information necessary for compliance. The affidavit must be signed by the employer's authorized representative and the signature must be notarized. In addition, employers must provide proof of the employer's compliance with the law, such as a copy of the employer's certificate of approval from the New York State Department of Labor. There are two types of New York Instructions for Completing the "Article 19-A Annual Affidavit of Compliance": the "Employer's Copy" and the "Department of Labor's Copy." The "Employer's Copy" is to be completed and returned to the Department of Labor, while the "Department of Labor's Copy" is to be kept on file by the employer.
