BILL NUMBER:S4063

Title of bill

An act to amend the labor law, in relation to allowing an employer to recover from an employee the cost of the payment of a fine for a violation recorded by a traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring device

Purpose

This legislation will allow an employer to recover from an employee the cost of the payment of a fine for a violation recorded by a traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring device.

Summary of provisions

Amends subdivision 1 of section 193 of the labor law, as amended by Chapter 451 of 2012 and Chapter 548 of 1966 to recover from an employee the cost of the payment of a fine for a violation recorded by a traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring device.

Justification

As red light cameras become more common, business owners are faced with an unintentional negative financial impact. A business owner who own and operates a fleet of vehicles is being forced to cover the cost of tickets issues to employees in the official company vehicles. While the tickets are valid, the company should not have to bear the burden for the unsafe actions of the driver. Had a ticket been issued by an officer, the operator would be issued the ticket, not the employer.

This legislation seeks to address this problem by allowing an employer the option to recover from an employee the cost of the payment of a fine for a violation recorded by a traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring device.
