Labor Bureau
The Labor Bureau of the New York State Attorney General’s Office is nationally recognized for its work defending labor standards in low-wage industries by aggressively enforcing worker-protection laws.
Specifically, the Labor Bureau investigates violations of minimum wage, overtime, prevailing wage, and other basic labor laws throughout the state and brings civil and criminal actions against employers who violate these laws. The Labor Bureau also defends the determinations of the New York State Department of Labor, Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board and New York Workers' Compensation Board.
