farm workers

On Wednesday, New York State approved a measure to lower the hourly threshold for farm workers to qualify for overtime pay to 40 hours by 2032.

New York's labor commissioner approved a recommendation to phase in a 40-hour threshold for farmworker overtime over the next decade.

New York state is looking at lowering the farm worker overtime threshold from 60 hours a week in a move that is quickly being met by praise and backlash.

New York is on the verge of a big change in its criminal justice system with Bail Reform one of a number of new laws taking effect in 2020.
