NY Lab L § 861-A (2021)
2021 New York Laws LAB - Labor Article 25-B - The New York State Construction Industry Fair Play Act 861-A - Legislative Finding and Intent.

§ 861-a. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds   and declares that New York state's construction industry is experiencing   dangerous  levels  of  employee  misclassification  fraud.  Unscrupulous   employers  are  intentionally   reporting   employees   as   independent   contractors  to  state  and federal authorities or workers' compensation   carriers in record numbers. In addition, there has been an explosion  of   employers  who operate in the underground economy and fail to report all   or a sizable portion of their workers.The legislature hereby finds and declares that recent studies  of  New   York  city's  construction industry alone suggests that as many as fifty   thousand New York city construction workers -- nearly one in four -- are   either misclassified as  independent  contractors  or  are  employed  by   construction contractors completely off the books. Construction industry   fraud  reduces  government revenue, shifts tax and workers' compensation   insurance costs to law-abiding employees, lowers working conditions  and   steals jobs from legitimate employers and their employees.Therefore,  the  legislature hereby finds and declares that government   has  an  obligation  to   curb   this   underground   economy,   enforce   long-standing  employment  laws, ensure compliance with essential social   insurance protections and eliminate  the  unfair  competitive  advantage   from contractors in the underground economy by and through the enactment   of the New York state construction industry fair play act.
