The board had considered lowering the overtime threshold from 60 to 40 hours per week.
Board member and New York Farm Bureau President David Fisher, in a prepared statement, said he supported board chairperson Brenda McDuffieâs position of delaying a decision.
âI had encouraged giving the process more time to fully evaluate what a lower threshold would mean for all involved, especially with such limited data from this challenging year,â Fisher said. âIâd like to thank my fellow wage board members for their time and professionalism and encourage the Department of Labor to continue to work with the farming community to do what is best for our farms and employees. We need each other for agricultural production and our rural economies to flourish.â
