 AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to enacting "the construction
 reporting pay act"

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 "the construction reporting pay act".
 3 § 2. Legislative intent and findings. The legislature finds that
 4 employees in construction are entitled to the same scheduling, reliabil-
 5 ity, and predictability as other fields of employment. The legislature
 6 further finds that reliable and predictable scheduling will create a
 7 more harmonious relationship between labor and management, leading to an
 8 overall better and safer working environment.
 9 § 3. The labor law is amended by adding a new section 224-g to read as
 10 follows:
 11 § 224-g. Wage requirements for reporting and scheduling pay. 1.
 12 Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, for any
 13 construction projects covered by sections two hundred twenty, two
 14 hundred twenty-b, two hundred twenty four-a, two hundred twenty four-d,
 15 two hundred twenty four-e, two hundred twenty four-f as added by section
 16 three of part TT of chapter fifty-six of the laws of two thousand twen-
 17 ty-three, or two hundred twenty four-f as added by chapter two hundred
 18 seventy-eight of the laws of two thousand twenty-three, each laborer,
 19 worker or mechanic in the employ of a contractor who by request or
 20 permission of an employer reports for work on any day shall be paid no
 21 less than four hours at the prevailing rate of wages, including supple-
 22 ments, as defined in this article for the employee's regularly scheduled
 23 classification of work, however, this section shall not be applicable if
 24 the posted prevailing rate of wages provides for reporting pay wages or
 25 benefits greater than set forth in this section. Payments owed to an
 26 employee pursuant to this section shall be deemed prevailing rate of
 27 wages or supplements as defined in this article.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
