In March, we will examine the rush of state labor and employment law developments that took place near the end of Governor Paterson’s term and identify the issues to keep an eye on for 2011. Among the topics we will cover include the Wage Theft Prevention Act, NYS misclassification initiatives (including the Construction Industry Fair Play Act) and the new personnel at the NYS Department of Labor.
