Protecting Workers’ Rights to Fair Pay Under Federal and New York Law
Know Your Rights Under Wage and Hour Laws
Both federal and New York State law require that employees receive fair compensation for their time. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the New York Labor Law (NYLL), most workers are entitled to:
- Minimum Wage: As of 2025, the minimum wage in New York City is $16.00 per hour for most employees.
- Overtime Pay: Non-exempt employees must be paid 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
- Timely Payment: Wages must be paid on a regular schedule. Delays or missed payments can be a violation of the law.
- Proper Classification: Employers may not misclassify employees as independent contractors or exempt workers to avoid paying overtime or benefits.
