New York state has passed a particularly onerous law against the small business commit of the state.

The law charges business that have employees a $250 file for every day that they do not have Workers Compensation Insurance or the statutory disability insurance.  The Department in charge collecting these penalties is:

State of New York, Workers Compensation Board, Bureau of Compliance, 20 Park Street

Albany, NY 12207 , Attention redetermination Unit

 This is a huge trap for most business starting up.  Many of the payroll companies don't even warn their customers of the law when they sign up for the service.

These fines begin from the first day the company had employees and the fines add up,  These are among the largest fines I have seen levied against small business owners.  I have seen startups businesses with 2 and three employees get hit with fines of $30,000 to the one person even got a $55,000 penalty.

Our firm has successfully fought and won many reductions and elimination of penalties.  However the longer the business owner waits to have us fight the penalties the harder it is to have it reduced. So if you received a penalty letter form the Workers Compensation Judgment Unit, then call me immediately at 718 558-5532.   I can help
