Relates to permitting payments 14 days after the due date

This bill amends New York's workers' compensation law to shorten the deadline for employers or insurers to pay compensation from 25 to 14 days after the due date. If payments are late, a 20% penalty on the overdue amount and a $300 fee must be paid directly to the injured worker or their dependents. The penalty and fee apply unless the employer proves the delay was due to uncontrollable circumstances. The change applies immediately to all workers' compensation claims.
