On October 9, the New York State Department of Labor’s final wage deduction regulations took effect. Those regulations are codified at 12 N.Y.C.R.R. 195, and are available here. The final regulations are very similar to the proposed regulations issued in May 2013, but include a few new clarifications.

Our May 2013 alert that described the proposed regulations in detail is available here, and our September 2012 alert regarding the changes to the wage deduction law itself is available here. Please review those alerts for additional information regarding the changes to the New York wage deductions law.
