The state Department of Labor announced the release of a new worker bill of rights for teen employees, a response to rising rates of labor law violations concerning working minors.
New York’s first Youth Workers Bill of Rights aims to better inform young, first-time workers about the legal protections available to all employees in the state, in addition to special protections for workers under 18.
