I work as a punch press operator for a small industrial
company in NY state. They end their pay period on a
Thursday and pay 8 days later on the next friday - every
other week.

As I have always understood NYS labor law - they must pay
me weekly and no later than 7 days after the end of the pay
period. If this is correct? Are there any exemptions or
grandfathered laws that would allow them to pay in this
manner. I would not want to report the matter to the labor
dept only to end up with egg on my face for being wrong.
Can they also fire me for reporting a violation such as
this? If I choose to report them, would it protect me to
tell them I filed a report or should I just sit back and
wait for the fireworks?
