New York State Department of Labor Labor Standards

Educational Seminars

• Each year Labor Standards responds to thousands of employee complaints of unpaid wages and benefits, illegal employment of children, meal period violations and more.
• The New York State labor law can be very complicated and it is easy for employers to make a mistake. Many honorable employers are found to owe back wages and penalties that turn out to be quite costly.
• Attending a Division of Labor Standards Educational Seminar may help an employer avoid the cost and inconvenience of a Labor Standards Investigation because the seminar is designed to teach employers how to avoid being in violation of labor laws.
• While the labor law covers all areas/types of employment, an Educational Seminar can be tailored to the industry of those attending.
• Seminars can be designed for a specific company; allowing the company to include the seminar in previously scheduled corporate training sessions for managers, or company meetings, at a specific location.
• The Division of Labor Standards will provide Educational Seminar informational brochures, booklets and Powerpoint presentations at no cost to an employer.
