New York S08872 prohibits algorithmic wage-setting, with exceptions, and establishes penalties and a private right of action.

New York S08872 amends the labor law to prohibit employers from using algorithmic wage-setting, which involves using automated decision systems to set wages. Exceptions exist if wages are based solely on specific factors and the employer discloses the data used. Employers must ensure data accuracy and allow employees to correct or challenge data. The attorney general will adopt rules for implementation. Violators face civil penalties and may be subject to private lawsuits. The act takes effect 90 days after becoming law.
