This is just a friendly reminder that starting Thursday, November 8, 2012, New York’s Wage Deduction Law will permit employers to deduct certain amounts from their employee’s wages, including deductions to recover wage overpayments, for repayments of employer loans, and to provide for the payment of items such as gym memberships, parking or mass transit passes and day care, among many other items.  For more information about this law, click here.  The complete amendment to the Wage Deduction Law can be accessed here.
