Our Story
NYS Penalty Help was founded in 2018 by professionals with backgrounds in workers' compensation compliance, insurance regulatory matters, and New York State administrative law. We recognized a significant gap in the market: thousands of small and mid-size New York businesses receiving WCB penalty notices had no idea what to do, often ended up paying far more than they should, or — worse — ignoring the notices until penalties became judgments.
Our founders had seen firsthand how a $15,000 WCB penalty could be negotiated down to $5,000 with the right documentation and approach — and how the same penalty, left unaddressed, could grow into a $25,000 court judgment with bank levies and business credit damage. We built NYS Penalty Help to give NY businesses access to the expertise and advocacy they need to protect themselves.
Since 2018, we have helped over 500 New York businesses — from one-person construction firms to multi-location restaurant groups — reduce, resolve, and recover from WCB penalties totaling more than $2 million in reductions. Our client base spans every industry and every region of New York State.
Our Approach
We believe every NY business deserves access to expert WCB penalty advocacy — not just large companies with in-house compliance departments. Our approach is built on three principles:
- Transparency: We tell you exactly what your options are, what outcomes are realistic, and what the process will look like — before you commit to anything.
- Thoroughness: We leave no stone unturned in identifying mitigation factors, challenging calculation errors, and building the strongest possible case for reduction.
- Urgency: WCB penalty deadlines are real and unforgiving. We act quickly, respond promptly, and treat every case with the urgency it deserves.
Our Team
Our team includes professionals with experience in:
- Workers' compensation insurance and compliance
- New York State administrative law and WCB procedure
- Business financial analysis and hardship documentation
- Insurance classification and payroll audit defense
