ALBANY – Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to close a costly loophole in state law that requires businesses to pay manual laborers weekly has been met with some stiff resistance — while budget talks remain at an impasse. The bill hasn’t gotten much attention amid the jostling between Hochul and the Legislature over several policy changes she wants tacked onto the stalled spending plan, though business groups are pushing Albany leaders to fix a decades-old labor law that requires manual laborers to be uniquely paid on a weekly basis.
