 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "wage
 2 payment integrity act".
 3 § 2. Subdivision 1 of section 190 of the labor law, as amended by
 4 chapter 328 of the laws of 1972, is amended to read as follows:
 5 1. "Wages" means the earnings of an employee for labor or services
 6 rendered, regardless of whether the amount of earnings is determined on
 7 a time, piece, commission or other basis. The term "wages" also includes
 8 any employment compensation that is not payable at the employer's sole
 9 and absolute discretion and benefits or wage supplements as defined in
 10 section one hundred ninety-eight-c of this article, except for the
 11 purposes of sections one hundred ninety-one and one hundred ninety-two
 12 of this article. For a bonus or other form of employment compensation
 13 to be excluded from "wages", the employer must notify the employee in a
 14 clear, prominent, timely and uncontradicted fashion that the employer
 15 has sole and absolute discretion to decide whether or not to pay it.
 16 § 3. Subdivision 2 of section 195 of the labor
