* § 756-f. Wage theft prevention and enforcement. 1. Upon request of a   contractor,  or a contractor's subcontractor, to any subcontractor which   performs any portion of  work  within  the  scope  of  the  contractor's   construction  contract  with  an owner, such subcontractor shall provide   certified payroll records which, at  a  minimum,  contain  all  lawfully   required  information  required for all employees providing labor on the   project. Such payroll records shall contain  sufficient  information  to   apprise  the contractor or subcontractor of such subcontractor's payment   status in paying wages and making any applicable fringe or other benefit   payments or contributions to a third party  on  its  employee's  behalf.   Payroll records shall be marked or redacted to an extent only to prevent   disclosure  of  an  individual's  full  social security number but shall   provide the last four digits of the social security number.2. Upon request of a contractor, or a contractor's  subcontractor,  to   any subcontractor which performs any portion of work within the scope of   the contractor's construction contract with an owner, such subcontractor   shall provide: (a) the names of all workers of such subcontractor on the   project,  including  the  names  of  all those designated as independent   contractors;  (b)  when  applicable,  the  name  of   the   contractor's   subcontractor  with  whom  such subcontractor is under contract; (c) the   anticipated contract start date; (d) the scheduled duration of work; (e)   when  applicable,  local  unions  with  whom  such  subcontractor  is  a   signatory  contractor;  and  (f) the name, address and phone number of a   contact for such subcontractor.3. Failure to timely comply with a request for information as provided   herein shall be a basis for a contractor to withhold payments owed to  a   subcontractor at any tier.4.  Unless  otherwise  required  by law, a contractor or subcontractor   shall not communicate an individual's personal  identifying  information   to   the  general  public.  For  purposes  of  this  section,  "personal   identifying information" shall have the same definition as provided  for   in  paragraph  (d)  of subdivision one of section two hundred three-d of   the labor law.5. For the purposes of this section, "contractor"  means  any  person,   firm,  partnership,  corporation,  association, company, organization or   other  entity,  including  a  construction  manager,  general  or  prime   contractor, joint venture, or any combination thereof, which enters into   a construction contract with an owner.6.  For  the purposes of this section, "owner" means any person, firm,   partnership, corporation, company, association or other organization  or   other  entity,  or  a  combination  of  any  thereof, (with an ownership   interest, whether the interest or estate is in fee, as  vendee  under  a   contract  to purchase, as lessee or another interest or estate less than   fee) that causes a building, structure or improvement, new or  existing,   to be constructed, altered, repaired, maintained, moved or demolished or   that causes land to be excavated or otherwise developed or improved.7. For the purposes of this section, "subcontractor" means any person,   firm,  partnership,  corporation,  company, association, organization or   other entity, or any combination thereof, which is a party to a contract   with a contractor, and/or party to  a  contract  with  the  contractor's   subcontractors  at  any  tier, to perform any portion of work within the   scope  of  the  contractor's  construction  contract  with  the   owner,   including where the subcontractor has no direct privity of contract with   the contractor.* NB Effective January 4, 2022
