Description:
This program will give practitioners a good basis for understanding how
to identify, comply with, and litigate prevailing wage issues and laws
in New York State and New York City that arise under Article 8 of the
New York Labor Law. A panel of private practitioners and
representatives from the New York State Department of Labor and the New
York City Comptroller’s Office will present the big ticket issues to be
aware of in this complicated area of the law from the perspectives of
management, employees, and government enforcement.
The panel will explain how and when prevailing wage laws apply in New
York State and New York City; the primary obligations on contractors and
sub-contractors working on public work projects; compliance with
prevailing wage laws, including an explanation of the main resources and
guidelines available to contractors and sub-contractors from state and
local governments; how to identify and obtain information concerning
construction projects subject to prevailing wage requirements; how
claims for unpaid prevailing wages are litigated and resolved, both in
private actions in courts and in enforcement proceedings before
administrative agencies; and damages and penalties available in
prevailing wage actions.
