Mastering New York's Spread of Hours Rule | Baron Payroll

In New York, compliance with labor laws can be complex, and one regulation that often goes unnoticed is the Spread of Hours rule. This rule mandates that if an employee works more than 10 hours in a single day—including any breaks—you must pay them an additional hour at the minimum wage rate. This requirement applies regardless of whether the employee's regular pay is above the minimum wage.

For many business owners, manually tracking this can be a time-consuming process that’s prone to errors. These errors can lead to non-compliance, which brings the risk of fines and penalties.

But this is where Baron Payroll steps in to help.
