As part of its 2021 State Budget, New York passed a new sick leave law applying to private employers in New York.  NY PSL does not apply to public employers (government, school districts, public agencies, cities, towns, etc.)  Under the law, employees may begin to accrue sick leave in September 2020 for use in January 2021. This program will set forth the requirements that the sick leave law imposes on employers, including accrual, carryover, and allowable uses of the leave. Topics will also include how to incorporate the new sick leave into existing paid time off policies, how the leave applies to part-time and per diem employees, collective bargaining implications, employer record-keeping requirements, and much more.
