NY Labor Law

Our association library is considering changing some librarian positions from salaried “professional” to hourly. Is that legal?

You have asked if a special legislative district library and other types of public libraries must follow New York State Labor Law Section 191 (Labor Law Article 6).

We have 12 employees of the Library. 3 are salaried the rest are minimum wage.

Are public library systems and public libraries (association, municipal, special district, school district) required to pay prevailing wage?

[NOTE: This submission is based on real-life questions about the new requirement imposed by New York State Labor Law Section 590(2).]

Should what we think of as the personnel policy be called Employee Handbook or Personnel Policy?

How does the NY HERO Act https://dol.ny.gov/ny-hero-act apply to the different types of libraries?
