New York labor law to be interpreted liberally to protect workers' rights.

The bill, known as the "remedial construction of New York labor law act," aims to ensure that New York labor law is interpreted liberally to achieve its broad remedial purposes. These purposes include securing workers' wage floors, ensuring their rights to recover earned wages, protecting them from retaliation, securing equal pay for equal work, and mitigating the harms of unemployment. The bill also mandates that exceptions and exemptions to labor law requirements be interpreted narrowly to maximize deterrence of unlawful conduct.
