Late Paid Wages Attorney In New York
Has Your Employer Failed to Pay You On Time?
When you get your money is as important as how much you get. The law in New York requires some workers to be paid every week, and if they were not, they can file a claim for anytime they were paid late in the past 6 years.
Section 190(4) of the New York State Labor Law defines a “manual worker” as “a mechanic, workingman or laborer.” It has been the long-standing interpretation of the NY Department of Labor that individuals who spend more than 25% of working time engaged in “physical labor” fit within the meaning of the term “manual worker.” Furthermore, the term “physical labor” has been interpreted broadly to include countless physical tasks performed by employees.

What is Labor Law Section 191?
New York Labor Law Section 191 sets the rules for how often employees must be paid.
Manual workers are required to be paid weekly, and no later than seven calendar days after the end of the workweek during which their wages were earned.
For manual workers employed by non-profit organizations, wages must be paid according to the terms of their employment agreement—but never less often than twice a month.
Large employers of manual workers may request permission from the Commissioner of Labor to pay wages semi-monthly instead of weekly.
If you have questions about whether your employer is following these rules, LAWYERFORWORKERS
can help you understand your rights and what to do next.
