DOL Issues Revised Proposed On-Call Pay and Scheduling Rules
The New York State Department of Labor has issued revised proposed rules regarding “call-in” and “on-call” pay and scheduling. Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce has closely monitored developments on this issue since the DOL proposed its original rules in November 2017. While the revised rules do take into account feedback from employers since last year and show some improvements, they still have the potential to significantly increase payroll costs and administrative burdens.

“High Workers’ Compensation costs continue to be a major concern for New York employers. Thanks largely to the leadership of Rochester Chamber, its Workers’ Compensation Committee, and other business partners, significant headway has been achieved the past two years to pass much-needed reforms. As a result, this year the New York State Loss Cost levels are decreasing for 98% of the Worker Classification Codes. As always, we have more work to do, but this is great news for New York State employers. Rochester Chamber remains an effective advocate for employers – it gets things done!”
