Section 200 of the Labor Law provides, in summary, that all New York construction sites must be operated in such a manner as to provide reasonable and adequate protection to construction workers from general construction site hazards.

New York City's Labor Law 200, applying to laborers such as construction workers, describes the duty of employers and construction site owners “to protect the health and safety of employees” by assuring them of “reasonable and adequate protection” for any type of work they have been hired to perform.

Generally, employment laws focus on the location where the work is performed, not necessarily where the employer is based. That said, NYC employment laws might still apply if the employer's conduct, policies, or decisions are made in the city.

Employers in New York State must provide certain employees with at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in any calendar week. This is referred to as a day of rest, and the Guidelines (below) provide more specific details. Employers may apply for a variance from the day of rest requirement.

LABOR LAW §200 All machinery, equipment, and devices in such places shall be so placed, operated, guarded, and lighted as to provide reasonable and adequate protection to all such persons. The board may make rules to carry into effect the provisions of this section.

You may also call the Task Force hotline at 1-888-469-7365. Reports may remain anonymous.

You may sue for up to $3,000 in Town or Village Courts, and $5,000 in City Courts. If you are owed more than $5,000 you can sue in New York City Civil Court or in New York State Supreme Court if you live outside of New York City.

A BOFE representative will review the report to determine whether to investigate the employer. If BOFE starts an investigation, it may inspect the worksite, issue citations for violations, work with the employer to correct the problem, and collect any unpaid wages owed to workers.

To report a company to the labor board anonymously, contact your state's Labor Commissioner's office by phone or online. Specify that you want to file the complaint anonymously. Most states allow for anonymous reporting, but there may be limitations to ensure the investigation can proceed effectively.
