                                BILL NUMBER:S1835

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the labor law, in relation to raising the statutory minimum
wage

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
Raises the minimum wage that an employer can pay to each of its
employees for each hour worked to $8.50 on and after January 1, 2014
then to $9.25 on and after January 1, 2015. On and after January 1,
2016 and on each following January first, an adjusted minimum wage
rate that the commissioner shall calculate and establish by
increasing the then current minimum wage rate by the rate of
inflation for the most recent twelve month period that is available
at the time the adjusted minimum wage rate is calculated and
announced using the consumer price index (urban wage earners and
clerical workers, all items, NY-NJ-CT-PA, not seasonally adjusted).

As well as allows localities to set a minimum wage beyond what is
required by the state.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - defines what is considered to be an employee for the
purposes of this bill.

Section 2 - states what entities are considered to be employers for
the Purposes of this bill.

Section 3 - Amends subdivisions 1, 4 and 5
of section 652 of the labor law to
statutory require employers to pay each of its employees a minimum of
$8.50 for each hour worked by January 1, 2013 and $9.25 by January 1,
2014. On and after January 1, 2015 and on each following January
first, an adjusted minimum wage rate that the commissioner shall
calculate and establish by increasing the then current minimum wage
rate by the rate of inflation for the most recent twelve month period
that is available at the time the adjusted minimum wage rate is
calculated and announced using the consumer price index (urban wage
earners and clerical workers, all items, NY-NJ-CT-PA, not seasonally
adjusted).

Section 4 - Amends Section 665 of the labor law, as added by chapter
619 of the laws of 1960 by adding a "non preemption" clause, allowing
localities to raise their minimum wage above what the state
statutorily requires.

Section 5 - states that this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
The cost of living has skyrocketed in our state while wages have
stagnated having a serious, detrimental impact on working class New
Yorkers. People who make the current minimum wage fall below the
poverty line, this is unjust and unacceptable. Currently full time
workers that make minimum wage, $7.25 an hour, have less than 300


dollars to live on a week. States that neighbor New York; such as
Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts, have all enacted laws to
raise their minimum wage above the federal requirement while New
Yorkers are being paid the bare minimum. It is time for New York to
come from behind and take the lead to insure our working class is
paid a livable wage. Study after study has demonstrated that doing so
will help boost economic activity propelling our economy forward.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: None.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
