December 27, 2024
Starting December 30, 2024, the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) mandates a new registration requirement for all contractors and subcontractors working on certain construction projects. This initiative aims to enhance labor law compliance and ensure fair wage practices across New York’s construction industry. For businesses navigating these new waters, here’s what you need to know to ensure seamless compliance and continued operational success.
Why Register? The NYSDOL's new online registry aims to improve the enforcement of labor standards specifically in the construction industry, focusing on construction, demolition, and renovation projects that receive substantial public funding. This mandate impacts projects where public funds make up at least 30% of the total project costs and exceed five million dollars. Registration signals your business’s commitment to legal and ethical operations within New York’s competitive construction sector.
Understanding the Registration Process
- Check Your Eligibility: Determine if your projects are governed by Article 8, which relates to publicly funded construction including areas like renewable energy and broadband infrastructure.
- Prepare Your Documents: Organize all necessary documentation in advance, including business identification, tax information, and proof of workers' compensation insurance.
- Register Online: From December 29, 2024, you can access the NYSDOL’s online Contractor Registry portal to complete your registration. Doing this early will help avoid any disruptions to your project schedules or bidding opportunities.
Keep your business operations smooth and compliant by preparing for New York's new contractor registry. For more information on the registration process and to ensure your readiness by the deadline, visit the NYSDOL Contractor Registry Portal.
