New York State will soon require all employers to provide sick leave to employees. The New York State Sick Leave (NYSSL) law goes into effect on Sept. 30, but employees are not entitled to use NYSSL until Jan. 1, 2021.
Key Points of the New Law
The amount of NYSSL employees will be entitled to use will vary by employer size and income:
- Employers with at least 100 employees must provide 56 hours of paid sick leave.
- Employers with fewer than 100 employees must provide 40 hours of paid sick leave.
