60-Hour Overtime Threshold for Farm Workers in New York State May Be Reduced

NYSAC's priorities for the 2025 State Legislative Session include regulating the hours workers work on New York State farms.

2025 Legislative Program says,

"The Farm Laborers Wage Board was convened in 2020 to make a recommendation on whether to reduce the
60-hour overtime threshold for farm workers to 40 hours. In January 2022, after numerous public hearings
that included testimony from farmers, farm workers, and industry stakeholders, the Wage Board recom-
mended lowering the threshold to 40 hours per week by 2032."

RECOMMENDATIONS

Counties oppose any decrease to the 60-hour farm worker overtime threshold adopted by the Farm
Laborers Wage Board and the NYS Department of Labor.

Repeal section 674-a of the Labor Law to eliminate the
three-member Farm Laborers Wage Board."
