Legal Analysis—Deductions From Pay—New York

PERMITTED DEDUCTIONS

New York law allows employers to make deductions that are required by law or a rule or regulation of a governmental agency. In addition, deductions expressly authorized in writing by the employee and for the benefit of the employee are allowed if the employee's authorization is kept on file (NY Lab. Law Sec. 193).

WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED

Employers may make deductions from an employee's wages with the express written consent of the employee for the following (NY Lab. Law Sec. 193):

• Payments for insurance premiums

• Payments for contributions to pensions, or health and welfare benefit plans

• Contributions to charitable organizations

• Payments for the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds

• Payments for dues or assessments owed to a labor organization

Employers may also make deductions that are expressly authorized in writing by the employee for "similar payments for the benefit of the employee," provided that deductions for any such items do not exceed 10 percent of the employee's gross wages for the pay period (NY Rules and Regulations Tit. 12 Sec. 195.1).

CHILD SUPPORT/ALIMONY

Deductions must be made for child support and alimony payments when ordered by a court. For additional information, see the national and state Garnishment sections.

ASSIGNMENT OF WAGES

Deductions may be made for an assignment of wages. An assignment of wages is an agreement between an employee and one of his or her creditors, under which the employer is required to deduct a certain portion of the employee's wages from each paycheck for repayment of a debt. A wage assignment differs from a garnishment in that garnishment is an involuntary proceeding begun by a creditor because an employee has not paid his or her debts voluntarily. For more information, see the national and state Garnishment sections.

PROHIBITED DEDUCTIONS

Employers generally may not require applicants or employees to pay the cost of medical exams and health certificates.

REQUIRED STATEMENT

With each payment of wages, the employer must furnish a statement listing gross wages, deductions, and net wages and, on request, must furnish a statement of how they were computed (NY Lab. Law Sec. 195).
