Paid Sick Leave Laws: What’s Next and What You Need to Know
The PSLL, codified as section 196-b of the N.Y. Labor Law, allows employees to begin accruing sick leave hours as of September 30, 2020 and utilize sick leave as of January 1, 2021. The Law, which covers all employers in New York State, gives employees at least 40 hours of paid or unpaid sick leave up to a maximum of 56 paid hours, depending on the size and net income of the employer. The PSLL does not prohibit or prevent an employer from providing an amount of sick leave, paid or unpaid, in excess of the Law’s requirements.
