NY Lab L § 650 (2021)
2021 New York Laws LAB - Labor Article 19 - Minimum Wage Act 650 - Statement of Public Policy.

§ 650. Statement of public policy.  There are persons employed in some   occupations  in  the  state of New York at wages insufficient to provide   adequate maintenance for themselves and their families. Such  employment   impairs  the  health,  efficiency,  and  well-being  of  the  persons so   employed, constitutes unfair competition  against  other  employers  and   their  employees,  threatens  the  stability  of  industry,  reduces the   purchasing power of employees, and requires,  in  many  instances,  that   wages  be  supplemented  by  the  payment of public moneys for relief or   other public and private assistance.  Employment  of  persons  at  these   insufficient  rates  of  pay  threatens the health and well-being of the   people of this state and injures the overall economy.Accordingly, it is the declared policy of the state of New  York  that   such   conditions  be  eliminated  as  rapidly  as  practicable  without   substantially curtailing opportunities for employment or earning  power.   To this end minimum wage standards shall be established and maintained.
NY Lab L § 653 (2021)
2021 New York Laws LAB - Labor Article 19 - Minimum Wage Act 653 - Investigation of Adequacy of Wages.

§  653. Investigation of adequacy of wages. (1) The commissioner shall have power on his own motion to cause an investigation to be made of the wages being paid to persons employed in any occupation or occupations to ascertain whether the minimum wages established in accordance  with  the provisions   of   this   article  are  sufficient  to  provide  adequate maintenance and to protect the health of the persons  employed  in  such occupation  or  occupations.  The commissioner shall, on the petition of fifty or more residents of the  state  engaged  in  or  affected  by  an occupation  or  occupations  sought  to  be  investigated, cause such an investigation of such occupation or occupations to be conducted. If,  on the  basis  of  information  in  his  possession with or without such an investigation, the commissioner is of the opinion that  any  substantial number  of  persons  employed  in  any  occupation  or  occupations  are receiving wages insufficient to  provide  adequate  maintenance  and  to protect  their health, he shall appoint a wage board to inquire into and report  and  recommend  adequate  minimum  wages  and  regulations   for employees in such occupation or occupations.  (2)  The  commissioner shall, within six months after enactment of any change in the statutory minimum wage set forth  in  subdivision  one  of section  six  hundred fifty-two of this article, appoint a wage board to inquire and report and recommend any changes to  wage  orders  governing wages  payable  to  food  service  workers.  Such  wage  board  shall be established consistent with the provisions of subdivision one of section six hundred fifty-five of this article, except  the  representatives  of the  employees  shall  be  selected  upon  the  nomination  of the state American Federation of Labor/Congress of Industrial  Organizations;  and provided,  further,  that  the representatives of the employers shall be selected upon the nomination of the New York State Business Council. Any wage order authorizing a lesser wage than the previously and statutorily mandated minimum wage for such employees shall be reviewed by  the  wage board  to  ascertain  at  what  level  such  wage order is sufficient to provide adequate maintenance and to protect the health and livelihood of employees subject to such a wage order after a statutory increase in the mandated minimum wage.

Whether  or  not  oral  argument  is  scheduled,  the   commissioner shall by order accept or  reject  the  board's  report  and   recommendations  within  forty-five days after filing with the secretary   of the department.  The  commissioner  may  by  such  order  modify  the   regulations  recommended  by  the  board. Such order of the commissioner   shall become effective thirty days  after  publication,  in  the  manner   prescribed  in this section, of a notice of such order. The commissioner   may, within such forty-five days, confer with the wage board, which  may   make  such  changes in its report or recommendations as it may deem fit.   The commissioner also may,  within  such  forty-five  days,  remand  the   matter to the board for such further proceeding as he may direct.

By  commissioner.

2021 New York Laws LAB - Labor Article 19-A - Minimum Wage Standards and Protective Labor Practices for Farm Workers 670 - Statement of Public Policy; Findings.

§  670.  Statement of public policy; findings.  The legislature of the   state of New York declares that it is the public policy of the state and   the purpose of this act that minimum wage standards shall apply to  farm   workers,  so as to eliminate as rapidly as practicable the employment of   farm workers at wages insufficient to provide adequate  maintenance  and   protection of health, without substantially curtailing opportunities for   employment or earning power.The  legislature  hereby  finds that the establishment of minimum wage   standards for farm laborers involves distinct and unusual problems; that   the agricultural labor force is made up of regular all-year  workers  as   well as short-term seasonal workers; that although some workers are paid   on  an  hourly  basis, many are paid on a piecework, weekly, monthly, or   other basis; and that the agricultural industry is particularly affected   by weather and market  conditions  and  by  perishability  of  products.   Accordingly,  the legislature further declares that it is the purpose of   this act to provide a flexible approach with full consideration  of  the   unusual problems involved.
