Reminder: The Comment Period on NY’s Proposed Regulations on the Statewide Wage Transparency Law is Open

On September 13, 2023, the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) published proposed regulations for the New York Wage Transparency Law. The proposed regulations provide additional guidance on the requirements of the law, which took effect on September 17, 2023.

Additional information on the proposed regulations is available in this Special Alert from HR Works.

Employers are encouraged to review the proposed regulations in their entirety as they contain additional relevant information for complying with the law, including illustrative examples of “good faith actions.” 

Employers who would like to comment on the proposed regulations should do so before the close of the comment period (November 12). Written comments may be submitted to the DOL at: regulations@labor.ny.gov
