What Are Wage Payment Legal Terms and Employee Rights in New York?
New York wage payment legal terms set strict schedules, priority rules, and penalties that protect employee rights, and expose employers who miss the details. Wage payment legal terms are more than a formality. Under New York Labor Law Section 191, employers must pay wages at least twice per month, and failure to meet that schedule triggers liquidated damages, statutory interest, and attorney fees, even when the delay is only a matter of days. I have seen well-intentioned employers face significant liability simply because their payroll system drifted from the statutory payday. Employee rights under these wage payment legal terms are not negotiable; any contract term that purports to delay or condition wage payment beyond the statutory framework is void as against public policy.

What Your Business Formation Attorney Should Address for Succession Planning
Transfer restrictions have to exist at formation to bind later. A right of first refusal, a tag-along right, and a buy-sell mechanism are enforceable against a member or shareholder only if they are in the operating agreement or shareholders’ agreement when the interest is acquired, and adding them afterward generally requires unanimous consent. The valuation formula matters more than the trigger. A buy-sell clause providing that the interest is purchased at “fair value” leaves the number to an appraisal and often to litigation, while a stated multiple of earnings, a formula tied to the financial statements, or a periodically updated agreed value produces a figure the parties can plan around. Entity type decides the tax result on exit. A buyer of an LLC interest can obtain a basis step-up in the underlying assets through a § 754 election, which a buyer of corporate stock cannot, and an S corporation’s eligibility requirements limit who may become an owner at all. Those constraints are set when the entity is formed, and converting later is itself a taxable event in some directions.
