NYC Employers:
As a reminder, amendments to the New York City Earned Safe and Sick Time Act and Temporary Schedule Change Law went into effect yesterday. The amendments:
- require additional unpaid leave;
- expand the reasons for which paid and unpaid sick and safe time can be used; and
- reduce employer obligations under the Temporary Schedule Change Law
For more information, please see our client alert: Prepare Your Workplace: NYC Sick Time and Schedule Change Laws Expand Next Month – Davis+Gilbert LLP
As expected, an updated notice of rights/poster — which employers must distribute individually to employees upon hire and every time their rights change, and post in the workplace — is now available on the City’s website. The link to the English version of this notice is: Notice of Employee Rights: Protected Time Off
If you have not done so already, contact your D+G attorney to discuss implementation of policy updates in light of these amendments.
