New York State Senate Bill S1514 Raises Specter of Stop-Work Orders for Employee Misclassification
On March 4, 2025, the New York State Senate passed S1514, which would empower the commissioner of labor to issue stop-work orders against employers that misclassify employees as independent contractors or provide false, incomplete, or misleading information to insurance companies regarding the number of employees.
The bill, which represents a significant legislative move to protect workers’ rights and ensure fair labor practices, has a companion bill, A6664, currently under review by the New York State Assembly’s Labor Committee.
