Bill > A04644

This bill amends the labor law to exclude certain seasonal fair workers from the definition of "employee" for the purposes of the minimum wage act. The bill specifically excludes from the definition of "employee" individuals employed as employees of a traveling amusement or recreational establishment who reside outside of New York state, provided that the establishment adheres to current state minimum wage rates for all employees, meets certain business operations criteria, and the individual is employed on the premises of a county or agricultural fairground. This change to the definition of "employee" means that these seasonal fair workers will not be subject to the minimum wage requirements under the law.
