About the Hearings
On Friday, February 28, 2020, New York State Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon convened a wage board, and held the first in a series of public hearings to hear testimony to consider the existing overtime work threshold for farm laborers and the extent to which the overtime work threshold may be lowered in New York State. 

During the hearings, testimony will be heard from farm laborers, agricultural employers, academic experts, and elected officials, among others. All attendees are encouraged to preregister. Speakers will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals who wish to speak can register at: http://www.labor.ny.gov/farmwageboard.
