On November 12, 2020, I presented a complimentary webinar called “New York Paid Sick Leave”. For those who couldn’t attend the live webinar, I’m happy to make it available for you to watch at your convenience.
In the webinar, I discuss:
- Accrual, Use, and Payout
- Notice Requirements
- Overlap with Other Laws
- Recordkeeping
- Policy Considerations
Beginning January 1, 2021, New York companies must provide employees sick leave. Many businesses must pay employees for this time off, up to 40 or 56 hours per year, depending on employer size.
There are many ambiguities in the New York Paid Sick Leave Law. Recent State guidance addresses several issues, but leaves many others unanswered. This webinar addresses what is known and tries to help fill the gaps.
Why You Should Watch “New York Paid Sick Leave”
Every private (non-governmental) employer in New York State must provide sick leave to employees beginning January 1, 2021. For many, this will be a company-paid benefit. Despite a seemingly straightforward concept, the implications of this new requirement are potentially complex. Questions include how to administer accrual, what to put in your policy, and how the new law interacts with other legal obligations.
This webinar starts with the basics and builds up to the detailed questions that employers are asking. Can you combine sick leave with other forms of leave? How does frontloading sick leave work? What about part-time employees?
