New York Insurance Bill Addresses Bad Faith Insurance PracticesAlbany, NY On May 18, New York Senate Bill 6813 (S6813) was referred to the Senate Insurance Committee. If enacted into law, it would add a new Section 2601-a to the New York Insurance law. Proponents of the legislation see an opportunity to address the problem of insurance companies’ bad faith insurance claim practices. Detractors predict the opening of the proverbial floodgates to insurance lawsuits. Similar legislation has died in committee before.
One Fair Wage Slams Darden Restaurants’ Wage PracticesOakland, CA One Fair Wage (OFW), a national advocacy organization, filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California that challenges Darden Restaurants’ policy requiring payment of the lowest legally permissible wages to servers and other employees who receive tips. Under California prevailing wage law employers of 25 or fewer workers, including tipped workers, must pay the workers at least $13 per hour. Employers of 26 or more employees must pay all workers at least $14 per hour. Local minimum wages may be higher. Unlike some other states, California labor law does not permit employers to offset tips from customers against their own legal obligation to pay the minimum wage. For brevity’s sake, this is often referred to as the “tip credit.”
