market news | Public comment period for NY farm overtime plan ends Sunday

Apublic comment period, part of the state Department of Labor's rulemaking process to lower the farmworker overtime threshold, ends Sunday.

Comments may be submitted by emailing regulations@labor.ny.gov.

A three-member wage board voted in September to forward its recommendation to state Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon for her review. That recommendation was to lower the overtime threshold for farmworkers from 60 to hours over the next decade.

Reardon accepted that plan and the rulemaking process commenced. The process includes a 60-day public comment period.

Beginning in 2024, the farmworker overtime threshold will decrease from 60 to 56 hours. Every two years, the threshold will fall by four hours — 52 in 2026, 48 in 2028, 44 in 2030 and 40 in 2032.
