BILL NUMBER: S5248

SPONSOR: BIAGGI
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the labor law, in relation to the
prohibition of a differential rate of pay on the basis of protected
class status


 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To prohibit differential rate of pay on the basis of protected class
status

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one amends the labor law to state that a member from a protected
class who performs substantially similar work shall not be paid a wage
at a rate less than the rate of an employee who is not a member of the
protected class.

Section two sets forth the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Extending the prohibition of differential rates in pay to members of a
protected class for substantially similar work performed lays the
groundwork at the state-level to close the pay gap currently plaguing
women, people of color, individuals with disabilities, etc.  Substan-
tially similar work takes into consideration a composite of skill,
effort and responsibility, as well as working conditions.

As it stands currently, Latina women make 56ó, Black women make 66ó and
Asian women make 80ó of every dollar earned by non-Hispanic White men.
Further, those with disabilities earn 68% of what those without disabil-
ities are earning. Such disparities lead to detrimental long-term
effects including lower retirement benefits and, thus, financial insta-
bility among vulnerable elderly populations.

This bill, once codified, will ensure that those belonging to a
protected class will not suffer from wage discrimination when substan-
tially similar work is performed.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

None.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law.

 AN ACT to amend the labor law, in  relation  to  the  prohibition  of  a
   differential rate of pay on the basis of protected class status
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The section heading and subdivision 1 of section 194 of the
 labor law, the section heading as added by chapter 548 of  the  laws  of
 1966  and  subdivision  1 as amended by chapter 362 of the laws of 2015,
 are amended to read as follows:
   Differential in rate of pay because of [sex]  PROTECTED  CLASS  STATUS
 prohibited.    1.  "PROTECTED  CLASS"  INCLUDES  THE  LIST OF CATEGORIES
 PROTECTED FROM DISCRIMINATION PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (A)  OF  SUBDIVISION
 ONE OF SECTION TWO HUNDRED NINETY-SIX OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW.
   1-A.  No employee WHO IS A MEMBER OF A PROTECTED CLASS shall be paid a
 wage at a rate less than the rate at which an employee [of the  opposite
 sex]  WHO  IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE PROTECTED CLASS in the same establish-
 ment is paid for [equal work on a job the performance of which  requires
 equal  skill,  effort  and  responsibility, and which is performed under
 similar working conditions] SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR WORK, WHEN VIEWED AS A
 COMPOSITE OF SKILL, EFFORT,  AND  RESPONSIBILITY,  AND  PERFORMED  UNDER
 SIMILAR  WORKING  CONDITIONS, except where payment is made pursuant to a
 differential based on:
   a. a seniority system;
   b. a merit system;
   c. a  system  which  measures  earnings  by  quantity  or  quality  of
 production; or
   d.  a  bona  fide  factor other than [sex] THE PROTECTED CLASS STATUS,
 such as education, training, or experience. Such factor: (i)  shall  not
 be  based  upon  [or derived from] a [sex-based] differential in compen-
 sation THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DERIVED FROM A  PROTECTED  CLASS  STATUS  and
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

 S. 5248                             2
 
 (ii)  shall  be job-related with respect to the position in question and
 shall be consistent with business necessity. Such exception  under  this
 paragraph  shall  not  apply  when the employee demonstrates (A) that an
 employer  uses  a particular employment practice that causes a disparate
 impact on the basis of [sex] PROTECTED CLASS STATUS, (B) that an  alter-
 native  employment  practice  exists  that would serve the same business
 purpose and not produce such differential, and (C) that the employer has
 refused to adopt such alternative practice.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 it shall have become a law.

BILL NUMBER: S5248A

SPONSOR: BIAGGI
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prohib-
iting wage differentials based on protected class status

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL::

The purpose of this bill is to protect more employees against pay
discrimination.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS::

Section one of the bill would expand existing pay equity provisions to
require equal pay for substantially similar work, when viewed as a
composite of skill, effort, and responsibility, and performed under
substantially similar working conditions. It would also prohibit pay
differentials based on an individual's status within one or more
protected class or classes. This would include age, race, creed, color,
national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression,
military status, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, fami-

lial status, marital status, domestic violence victim status, and other
employees and interns protected under the New York State Human Rights
Law.

A differential in rate of pay would be permitted when such differential
is based on a seniority or merit system, a system measuring earnings by
quantity and quality, or bone fide factor other than status within one
or more protected class or classes which is job-related and consistent
with business necessity.

Section 2 of the bill would set forth an effective date of 90 days after
enactment.

 
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION

(IF APPLICABLE):

N/A

 
JUSTIFICATION::

In New York State, our current equal pay laws protect against gender-
based pay discrimination. This bill would address the systemic issue of
pay discrimination due to a range of other factors including age, race,
creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity and
expression, military status, disability, predisposing genetic character-
istics, familial status, marital status, and domestic violence victim
status - by prohibiting- differentials in pay based on an employee's
protected class status. These employees are already protected against
other forms of unlawful discrimination in the workplace under the Pen
York State Haman Rights Law, and this would ensure that their employers
cannot also discriminate in terms of their compensation.

Further, the "equal pay for equal work" standard has proved to place an
excessive burden of proof on aggrieved employees when filing a claim for
pay discrimination. In order to establish an equal pay violation, an
employee must demonstrate that their job is substantially equal to the
job of their higher-paid colleague. This bill would lessen this burden
by requiring employers to also ensure equal pay for "substantially simi-
lar work," while still acknowledging that differentials in pay may exist
based on non-discriminatory factors such as seniority, merit, geography,
the quantity or quality of work, or an employee's education, training,
or experience.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY::

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS::

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE::

This at shall take effect on the ninetieth day- after enactment.

 the  employee  demonstrates [(A)] (1) that an employer uses a particular
 employment practice that causes a disparate impact on the basis of [sex]
 STATUS WITHIN ONE OR MORE PROTECTED CLASS OR CLASSES, [(B)] (2) that  an
 alternative  employment  practice exists that would serve the same busi-
 ness purpose and not produce such differential, and [(C)] (3)  that  the
 employer has refused to adopt such alternative practice.
   2.  For  the purpose of subdivision one of this section[,]: (A) "busi-
 ness necessity" shall be defined as  a  factor  that  bears  a  manifest
 relationship  to  the  employment in question, AND (B) "PROTECTED CLASS"

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prohib-
iting wage differentials based on protected class status

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

The purpose of this bill is to protect more employees against pay
discrimination.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one of the bill would expand existing pay equity provisions to
require equal pay for substantially similar work, when viewed as a
composite of skill, effort, and responsibility, and performed under
substantially similar working conditions. It would also prohibit pay
differentials based on an individual's status within one or more
protected class or classes. This would include age, race, creed, color,
national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression,
military status, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, fami-

lial status, marital status, domestic violence victim status, and other
employees and interns protected under the New York State Human Rights
Law.

A differential in rate of pay would be permitted when such differential
is based on a seniority or merit system, a system measuring earnings by
quantity and quality, or bona fide factor other than status within one
or more protected class or classes which is job-related and consistent
with business necessity.

Section 2 of the bill would authorize the New York State Department of
Labor to assess a civil penalty for a differential in rate of pay
because of protected class status.

Section 3 of this bill would set forth an effective date of 90 days
after enactment.

 
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE):

The amended version makes a conforming change to § 197 of the Labor Law
to ensure that civil penalties can be assessed for a differential in
rate of pay because of protected class status.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In New York State, our current equal pay laws protect against gender-
based pay discrimination. This bill would address the systemic issue of
pay discrimination due to a range of other factors - including age,
race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity
