Remote Employees in New York

Remote Employees in New York (Webinar Recap)

On September 29, 2022, I presented a complimentary webinar entitled “Remote Employees in New York”. 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:

  • Insurance Issues
  • Mandatory Policies
  • Employment Discrimination
  • Hiring Pitfalls

and much more!

There have always been some people who worked from home. But the COVID-19 pandemic forced many employers into remote work arrangements on a large scale.

Beyond the practical issues, a new spotlight has emerged on legal compliance regarding remote employees. Especially when employees are working remotely in cities or states where the employer doesn’t have a physical presence, the arrangement may expose a company to new legal parameters.

Why You Should Watch “Remote Employees in New York”

If your organization isn’t physically present in New York, but has employees working there remotely, then you may not be familiar with many of the state-specific employment law requirements that probably apply. Similarly, if you have employees working remotely in New York City, there are additional protections to be aware of within the city boundaries.

Whether you’re based in New York or elsewhere, this webinar addresses many aspects of New York employment law relative to remote employees. If you’re new to having employees in the State or NYC, then we’ll get you up to speed on the major compliance requirements. If you’re already familiar with New York human resources practices, hear more specifically about what to consider with employees working off-site.

Reopening New York, Part III (Webinar Recap)

On August 13, 2020, we presented a complimentary webinar called “Reopening New York, Part III”. For those who couldn’t attend the live webinar, we’re happy to make it available for you to watch at your convenience.

In the webinar, we discuss:

  • Ongoing Business Restrictions
  • Employee Travel & Childcare Issues
  • Impact of School Reopening
  • Navigating New and Old Leave Laws
  • What’s Ahead for Employers?

With all of New York State now in Phase 4 of the State’s reopening plan, it’s still not back to business as usual. The same will be true for schools that are preparing to reopen in September. School districts will vary in how they get back to teaching, ranging from full in-person to fully remote models. This will create disparate impacts on employees with school-aged children.

Not limited to school issues, this webinar address the current status of New York’s reopening process. Content includes discussion of various leave laws that must be navigating for employees seeking to care for their children or address medical concerns potentially related to COVID-19.

Why You Should Watch “Reopening New York, Part III”

Our third webinar in this series anticipates the issues employers may face as schools “reopen” in September. Many employees will face unusual challenges this school year because of COVID-19. This will range from childcare to new stresses of students learning more at home and less at school

Among other topics, this webinar focuses on the various complex leave laws that employers must navigate when employees say they can’t work. This includes a new statewide Paid Sick Leave law that takes effect in New York as of September 30, 2020.

Make sure your company is prepared to balance employee needs with business demands. Plus, we expect further legal developments that will further complicate the workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic.
