Labor Law Art. 6: Is There a Difference Between 'Deducting' and 'Failing to Pay' Wages?

The belief in a “mere total withholding” exception to Labor Law §193 is entirely misplaced. Courts should not allow employers to violate §193 by reaping the benefit of employees' wages, and should not disregard §198's command that “All employees shall have the right to recover full wages, benefits and wage supplements and liquidated damages[.]”
