Prohibits the use of a wage-fixing algorithm in combination with personal or behavioral data to set or recommend wages or compensation

Summary

The legislation adds a new section to New York's labor law that makes it illegal for any employer to use a wage‑fixing algorithm together with personal or behavioral information when determining pay. It is intended to protect workers from opaque or discriminatory wage decisions based on sensitive data. Violations can be pursued by the attorney general or by workers themselves, with damages and penalties.
