New York employers will be pleased to know that Governor Cuomo
is expected to sign a bill passed last week amending New
York's Wage Deduction law (Section 193) to permit employers
to deduct certain amounts from employee wages to recover wage
overpayments and for the repayment of employer loans. The law
also permits employers to deduct certain amounts from an
employee's paycheck for the payment of items like gym
memberships, parking or mass transit passes and day care, among
many other items. Employers have long been frustrated by
their inability to make these types of deductions, especially as
they often benefit both the employer and employee. This
change, which will take effect two months after the Governor signs
the bill, is likely to be welcomed by employers and employees
alike. The complete amendment can be accessed here.
