New NY law requires employers to give sick leave to all workers; here’s what you need to know
Syracuse, N.Y. — A new state law requires private employers in New York to provide at least 40 hours of sick leave each year to all their workers, including part-timers.
The sick leave requirement, modeled after one in place in New York City since 2014, guarantees for the first time that the vast majority of workers in the state have the right to paid sick time when they or a family member is ill. It also prohibits employers from firing workers for taking sick time.
Many employers in New York provide sick time for full-time employees, but part-time workers are much less likely to receive the benefit.
The Community Service Society, a New York City organization that advocates for low-income New Yorkers, estimates that the new law will benefit 1.3 million workers — many of them low-wage, part-time employees — who are not now provided sick time by their employers.
Nancy Rankin, vice president for policy research and advocacy for the Community Service Society, said providing sick leave is especially important during the coronavirus pandemic.
