New York State Equal Pay Statutes, Labor Law §§ 194, 195

New York State requires equal pay for “substantially similar work,” a standard that is broader than the federal “equal work” requirement. Pay differentials must be tied to job-related, non-discriminatory factors. The laws also restrict employers from seeking or relying on salary history and require written pay notices. The measures target gender-based wage gaps and strengthen enforcement tools for employees.
