N.Y. Labor Law § 1001: Hours worked and full-time employment

§ 1001. Hours worked and full-time employment. The following shall

apply for the purposes of certifying employment for the purposes of the

public service loan forgiveness program only and shall have no other

applicability for public service employers and their employees.

1. For faculty or teacher employees, a public service employer

certifying employment after the effective date of this subdivision shall

credit 3.35 hours worked for each hour of lecture or classroom time,

regardless of when the hours were worked, including hours worked prior

to the effective date of this subdivision. This subdivision does not

supersede any greater adjustment factor established by a collective

bargaining agreement or employer policy in recognition of additional

work associated with lecture or classroom time for the purpose of the

public service loan forgiveness program.

2. When determining whether an employee is considered "full-time," as

that term is defined in this article, for the purpose of certifying

employment for the public service loan forgiveness program only, a

public service employer shall not treat any adjusted total hours worked

pursuant to subdivision one of this section differently from hours

worked without an adjustment factor.

3. For the purpose of certifying employment only, a public service

employer shall consider as "full-time" any employee who satisfies the

definition of "full-time" provided in this article.
