The paid personal time off would be on top of sick and safe leave already required in New York City
Under a bill introduced at the New York City Council meeting on June 22, 2023, New York City employers would be required to allow employees to accrue up to 80 hours of personal time off that can be used for any reason, in addition to the sick and safe leave such employers already must provide employees under the New York City Paid Sick and Safe Leave Law. If enacted, the law would take effect 120 days later. The proposed amendment has been referred to the NYC Council’s Committee on Civil Service and Labor.
