COLONIE — Gov. Andrew Cuomo likes to say that New York is "Open for Business," and has laid out a welcome mat for entrepreneurs.

But the Empire State still has a way to go if Christian King's experience is any indication.

King is still shaking his head at the $5,500 fine he's facing for failing to provide enough polo shirts to employees in his pizza shops.

King is president of KNC Holdings, which operates several convenience stores, gas stations and Papa John's franchise pizza parlors in the Capital Region. Late last year, staff from the state Department of Labor came in for a multi-day audit of his pizza business. They spent a few days going through files, pay records and other data and gave him their seal of approval.

"We were actually lauded for how good our records are," said King.

But then the inspector had some bad news: King wasn't providing enough golf shirts to employees.

If they work five days a week, for example, employees are supposed to get five shirts — even if they work just a few hours per day.

Then King was told he'd have to pay $5,535 — with most of the money sliced up among his 35 pizza store employees.
