BILL NUMBER:S8093
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to allowing certain organiza- tions access to certified payroll records of companies performing public work
Purpose
This bill provides certified employee organizations with the right to obtain access to certified payroll records pertaining to public works contracts that have been provided to state agencies by contractors or subcontractors.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends Section 220, subdivision 7 of the Labor Law by adding a new subdivision (b) which would require state agencies that have contracted with contractors or subcontractors on public works contracts, to provide certified employee organizations with the right to obtain access to certified payroll records.
Justification
This bill would enable employee organizations to determine whether or not a contractor or subcontractor who has received a public works contract is acting in compliance with New York State's prevailing wage law. Currently, many employee organizations are refused access to contractor and subcontractor payroll records, certified public records which are maintained by the contracting state agency, which are neces- sary for review to determine whether or not the proper wage and supple- ments have been paid to their employee organization members.
