Establishes a training wage for youth with no prior job experience, set at 85% of the state minimum wage or 100% of the federal minimum wage.

New York Assembly Bill A05731 amends the labor law to establish a training wage for youth with no prior job experience. This wage is set at 85% of the state minimum wage or 100% of the federal minimum wage, whichever is greater. The bill limits the duration of this training wage to 180 days. Employers are restricted to paying this wage to no more than 20% of their workforce or six employees at any one location. The bill also ensures that youth receiving a training wage will not displace employees earning at least the state minimum wage.
