On March 29, 2013 Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation that increases the New York state minimum wage rate starting on December 31, 2013. The minimum wage in New York will increase to $8.00 an hour on and after December 31, 2013, to $8.75 per hour on and after December 31, 2014 and $9.00 per hour on and after December 31, 2015.
We at Hill Wallack stand ready to assist you with any concerns that may arise as a result of this new legislation.
