Irrespective of personal or professional standing, completing legal-related documentation is a regrettable requirement in the current professional landscape.

This is where US Legal Forms comes to the rescue.
Verify that the template you selected is tailored for your region, as the laws of one state or county are not applicable to another.
Examine the document and read a brief overview (if available) of scenarios for which it can be utilized.
Employers must pay their employees within seven days of their particular pay period, whether it is on a weekly or biweekly basis. While some exceptions exist, most employers cannot engage in untimely wage payments. Unfortunately, many New York employers do not pay their employees on time.
The State of New York requires that employers tell their employees what their compensation will be in plain terms. The compensation could be paid out hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. If the salary is paid weekly, then the employer should clearly explain to the employee the number of hours covered by the weekly rate.
An overtime-eligible employee (paid a salary) who regularly works more than 40 hours per week, they are still entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 hours. The number of hours included in the employee's regular workweek only affects the rate of overtime pay.
To file a claim, you will need to complete a form to claim unpaid wages, wage supplements, minimum wage/overtime and various non-wage items, if your situation meets the criteria below. Unpaid Wages: Your employer did not pay you for all hours worked (including on-the-job training).
Labor Law Section 191 outlines the frequency by which employees must be paid. Manual Workers: Wages must be paid weekly and not later than seven calendar days after the end of the week in which the wages are earned.
If an employee is exempt from FLSA and any state, local, or union overtime laws, then it is legal to work 60 hours a week on salary. Some employers do pay exempt employees for overtime work through time-and-a-half, bonuses, or extra time off.
However, proposed regulatory text issued by the Department of Labor suggests the minimum weekly salary threshold for the executive and administrative exemptions will increase from $990 to $1064.25 per week (inclusive of board, lodging and other allowances and facilities) in upstate New York effective Dec. 31, 2022.
In New York State, as part of the Wage Theft Prevention Act, employers are required to provide a Statement of Wages, also known as a Pay Stub, with each payment of wages.
The Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA) took effect on April 9, 2011. The law requires employers to give written notice of wage rates to each new hire. The notice must include: Rate or rates of pay, including overtime rate of pay (if it applies)
Work any number of hours in a day: New York employers are not restricted in the number of hours they require employees to work each day. This means that an employer may legally ask an individual to work shifts of 8, 10, 12 or more hours each day.
