      Peter Fugiel, a postdoctoral research fellow at Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations, highlights issues with the enforcement of Fair Work Week laws in New York City and other jurisdictions.

      • He points out the Office of Labor Policy and Standards (OLPS) is understaffed compared to peer agencies when accounting for population and caseloads.
      • Despite successful settlements in 2022, less than 5% of covered workers received restitution through Fair Workweek enforcement.
      • More public data and collaboration between OLPS, stakeholders, and researchers is needed to improve enforcement practices.
