NY DOL Mandates Use of its Form to Notify Employees of Terms and Conditions of Employment

Amendments to New York Labor Law §195 obligate New York employers to notify new employees, in writing and at the time of hire, about certain terms and conditions of employment. Amended §195 also requires employers to obtain from each new employee a written acknowledgment confirming that he or she received the specified information. New York's Department of Labor has now mandated use of its form of notice and acknowledgment. See our alert here for more information.
