The New York PED Application Form is a document issued by the New York State Department of Labor (NYS DOL) that employers must complete to secure permission to pay employees at a rate lower than the state minimum wage. This application includes the required information such as the employer’s name, the address of the business, the type of business, the number of employees, the proposed lower wage rate, and the reason for the request. There are three types of New York PED Application Form: a Temporary PED Application, a Multi-Location PED Application, and a Regular PED Application. The Temporary PED Application is used to apply for a temporary minimum wage rate for a specific period of time. The Multi-Location PED Application is used when an employer has multiple locations and is requesting a lower minimum wage rate for all locations. The Regular PED Application is used for a single location and is requesting a lower minimum wage rate for the entire duration of the business’s operation.
