BILL NUMBER:S496 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to hours of work PURPOSE: To reclassify a legal day's work so as to include ten-hour days. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 220 of the Labor law is amended by reclassifying a legal day's work to include instances in which a ten-hour day is worked. For those working only four days per week, a ten-hour day constitutes a legal day's work. EXISTING LAW: Currently, laborers employed by a contractor are permitted to work no more than eight hours in one calendar day. JUSTIFICATION: Employees who work four, ten-hour days per week are entitled to overtime pay, since a legal day's work is defined as eight hours. This amendment will ease the financial burden of contractors and other employers whose employees normally work four-day weeks, and will give employers the flexibility to allow laborers to work four-day weeks instead of five.
