S 6542 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to farm worker meal and lodging minimum wage credits

This bill adjusts minimum wage credits for farm workers who receive meals, lodging, or utilities as part of their compensation. It requires the state department to update these credit amounts every five years based on inflation data, starting with a publication deadline of December 1, 2025. The updated values take effect on January 1st following publication. This ensures the credits maintain their real value as living costs rise, directly affecting farm workers receiving these benefits.
