Note that this is not a "fillable" form. You will have to print it out and submit it to your nearest Labor Standards office. And it is also assuming you were an employee and not an independent contractor.

Thanks Pattytx, But in this form it is mentioned that

"SECTION 190.7 OF THE NEW YORK STATE LABOR LAW EXCLUDES FROM WAGE PAYMENT COVERAGE THOSE PERSONS IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE, EXECUTIVE OR PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY WHOSE EARNINGS EXCEED §600 GROSS PER WEEK"

I was working as employee and having gross income above $600 as mentioned. Can i still use the same form?

Second question is that i now moved to New Jersey, Should i have to file it with the NY labour?

I appreciate response.

You worked in NY and NY is the state that you will have to file your claim with. I never noticed that clause before, but I'm not sure it would prohibit you from filing. Call them and find out. Maybe we're misunderstanding the meaning. I find it very hard to believe that the state DOL would keep employees from filing claims for unpaid wages just because they made $600 a week or more.
