Nassau County has no hotel-specific living wage law. Hotel workers are covered by New York State's downstate minimum wage of $16.50, plus state paid family leave, sick leave, and other Labor Law protections.
Unlike Los Angeles, which sets a hotel-specific living wage above the state minimum, Nassau County applies only the New York State minimum wage. As of 2025, downstate New York counties including Nassau have a minimum wage of $16.50 per hour, indexed annually under NY Labor Law §651. Other state-level requirements include the Paid Family Leave program (NY Workers' Compensation Law §200 et seq.), the Earned Sick Leave law (NY Lab §196-b), spread-of-hours pay, and the HERO Act for workplace airborne-infection protections. Tipped workers in hospitality follow specific Hospitality Wage Order tip-credit rules.
Paying below the $16.50 minimum, failing to provide paid sick leave, or violating the Hospitality Wage Order can result in DOL investigations, back-wage liability, liquidated damages, and civil penalties.
