# New York Pay Transparency and Equity for Employers of Record

## The posting threshold was not reconfirmed. The wage floor is regional.

## The rule

A posted New York range cannot sit under the regional minimum wage. For 2026, and again on January 1, 2027, that is $17.00 an hour in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, and $16.00 in the rest of the state. This review did not open the Department's pay-transparency FAQ, so the employee threshold and the effective date of the posting rule are not stated here. A separate article on this site also covers New York wage transparency. The two URLs were not merged.

## Wording left as it was

This review could not confirm the next point from an official source, so it is unchanged:

New York has its own rules governing pay transparency.

## What employers must do

Use the worksite region, not a single statewide number, when you write a range. Confirm the posting statute before you rely on a headcount.

## Effective dates

Minimum wage rates above apply through 2026 and, for the standard rate, stay in place on January 1, 2027.

## What this means for BOSS partners and associates

BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require.
