BILL NUMBER:S261
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to requiring farm labor contractors to provide certified copies of payroll records
Purpose or general idea of bill
To provide for enhanced enforcement of the labor law in the farming industry.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 Amends the Labor Law Section 212-a (2) (d) (e). Re-letters paragraphs d and e to paragraphs e and f and adds a new paragraph d. Requires every farm labor contractor to provide a certified true copy of all payroll records to the Commissioner.
Section 2 - Effective Date
Existing law
Current farm labor law makes no provision regarding the provision of certified payroll records to the Commissioner.
Justification
The enforcement of the labor wage law would be enhanced by increased awareness on the part of farm labor contractors of the need for accuracy in record keeping. This requirement would assure the department of labor that wage and hour law was complied with through the inspection of payroll records on a regular basis.
