The New York Department of Labor has created the New York Building Service Industry Employees Wage Order to show the new minimum wage rates for building service industry employees.
The building service industry includes any person, corporation or establishment engaged in whole or in part in renting, servicing, cleaning, maintaining, selling, or managing buildings or building space, and all occupations, operations and services in connection therewith or incidental thereto. The industry includes, but is not limited to, real estate owners, building owners, operators, lessors, managing agents and independent contractors.
The building service industry does not include a building trades contractor engaged exclusively in the field of construction, or any building owned, operated and used solely for religious, charitable or educational purposes by a nonprofit organization organized exclusively for religious, charitable or educational purposes, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. These exclusions shall not be deemed to be exclusions from coverage under another minimum wage order.
Posting Requirements
Building Service Industry employers are required to post the New York Building Service Industry Employees Wage Order where employees can easily see it (12 NYCRR §141-2.3).
