New York S00162 authorizes the commissioner of labor and the workers' compensation board to issue stop-work orders for employers who fail to comply.

New York S00162, also known as the "stop workplace abuse today (SWAT) act," amends the labor law and the workers' compensation law to authorize the commissioner of labor and the workers' compensation board to issue stop-work orders. These orders can be issued for employers who knowingly fail to provide workers' compensation coverage or violate labor laws. The bill establishes a procedure for issuing these orders, including a 72-hour notice period for employers to come into compliance. Employers have the right to a hearing within ten days of the order being issued to contest the violation.
