"Friday's changes, made under Local Law 145, require employers to make an additional 32 hours of unpaid protected time off available immediately upon hire and again at the start of each calendar year. It also expands the reasons employees may use protected time off to include childcare, caring for a family member with a disability, attending benefits or housing appointments or hearings, staying home during declared public emergencies, and addressing needs related to workplace violence."
"The city sent 56,000 compliance warnings to employers across the city on Friday, alerting them of the new protections and enforcement mechanisms. In addition to the law's enactment, Mamdani announced that the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection will begin an enforcement blitz, sending letters to all restaurants, prior DCWP enforcement targets, and DCWP licensees across the city. New Yorkers shouldn't have to choose between doing their job and caring for their family, protecting their safety, or keeping their housing secure."
