New York's Department of Labor today adopted controversial farm labor overtime regulations, codifying an order that will ultimately allow farmworkers to get overtime after 40 hours a week.
Workers in the Schoharie Valley harvest cauliflower on a rainy autumn morning at Shaul Farms on Oct. 30, 2014, in Fultonham, N.Y. | Mike Groll/AP Photofarm labor overtime regulations, codifying an order from the agency’s commissioner in September that will ultimately allow farmworkers to get overtime after 40 hours a week.
To address the cost to farms by the lower overtime threshold, Hochul and the state Legislature last year increased an investment tax credit from 4 percent to 20 percent and a refundable tax credit for the overtime hours.“The push to lower the threshold to 40 hours per week, despite concerns raised by farmers and farm workers, is exactly what this labor board was planning all along,” Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt said in a statement.
“I will always do what I did before and will do in the future, and that is select the person I think will be the best individual, the best person to lead an extraordinary court,” Hochul told reporters in Johnson City outside Binghamton.
