Due to recent changes in New York workers' compensation laws, benefits have changed significantly, and not necessarily for the better. All treatment for work-related injuries must fall into the new medical treatment guidelines, which went into effect in December 2010. Many benefits are now capped. Please contact us to learn more about the new New York workers' compensation guidelines.

Wage and Hour Claims
- Has your employer given you your written notice informing you of your wage and overtime rate? - The New York State Wage Theft Prevention Act requires that employers fully inform their workers, in writing, of their wage rate, their rate of overtime pay, the regular payday, and any meal or other deductions being taken by the employer. You must receive this notice before February 1st.
- The New York State Wage Theft Prevention Act - Effective on April 9, 2011, this law mandates that New York State employers give written notice of wage rates to all employees by February 1 of each year. The notice must include the rate(s) of pay, including overtime rate of pay (if applicable); how the employee is paid; the regular payday, and any allowances, such as meal deductions the employer is taking.
- Changes to the Hospitality Wage Order - New York State made significant changes to the wage order governing the restaurant industry. Chief among the changes include permit restaurants to mandate tip pooling amongst employees, which previously had to be an employee-initiated decision. The wage order also seeks to clarify rules governing service charges for banquets and large parties, by making employers disclose to its customers if these charges are not going to their employees as a gratuity.

- El 22 de Septiembre del 2011 - Asistimos a la ceremonia presentada por La Fuente, donde se honoro a Edison Severino, el Director Ejecutivo de la Union 78.
- El 6 de Octubre del 2011 - El periodico, The New York Post, en un artículo titulado “Inmigrante Mojo,” informo sobre un nuevo estudio que indica que casi la mitad de los dueños de pequeñas empresas de la ciudad de Nueva York son inmigrantes. Estas son buenas noticias, y una senal que Nueva York sigue reconociendo a los hombres y mujeres que vienen a los Estados Unidos para trabajar y criar a sus familias.
