New York Wage Deductions:
What May Companies Withhold from Workers’ Pay?
New York has extensive limits on what private (non-government) employers may deduct or withhold from employees’ compensation. Violations of these restrictions essentially constitute “wage theft” under the NYS Labor Law.
Anyone involved in making payroll decisions regarding New York employees should become cognizant of what deductions are required, permissible, and prohibited. The regulatory framework includes detailed parameters regarding wage advances and recoupment of inadvertent overpayments that offer limited opportunities for employers, but also major traps for the unwary.
