# [New York Repeals Annual Notice Provision of Wage Theft Prevention Act](https://info.homeworksolutions.com/blog/new-york-repeals-annual-notice-provision-of-wage-theft-prevention-act)

New York Governor Cuomo signed legislation December 30, 2014 that repeals the annual notice provisions of the NY Wage Theft Prevention Act (WPTA).

**The requirement to give notice at time of hire provision remains intact.** Additionally the penalties for non-compliance with the time of hire notice were significantly increased. An employee may now recover a $50 per day penalty, up to a maximum of $5000, if an employer fails to provide the required wage notice within 10 days of an employee's hire date.

HWS facilitates client compliance with this time of hire notification by providing all clients a PDF fillable form that satisfies the state's notice regulations.

New York households who are hiring a household worker can [download this notice here](https://info.homeworksolutions.com/hs-fs/file-2171214342-pdf/docs/NY_Wage_Theft_Prevention_Notice.pdf). A [Spanish language version](https://info.homeworksolutions.com/hs-fs/file-2170057196-pdf/docs/NY_Wage_Theft_Prevention_Notice-Spanish.pdf) is also available.
