In 1999, former New York Governor George Pataki enacted the Construction Employment Payroll Limitation Law. This law provides a more equitable way to calculate Workers’ Compensation premium in the New York (NY) construction industry and helps to equalize the differences between high and low wage paying employers.
The Law requires employers to keep detailed and constant weekly payroll records for each worker proving their total weekly wages, hours, and the type of work performed. It is important to note that the law does not apply to employers working on a one or two-family residential housing.
Failure to keep proper records or knowingly falsifying any data can expose an employer to an accusation of insurance fraud under the law. Ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations is essential, as well as developing an efficient, accurate, and comprehensive payroll procedure.
