New York City Requires Employee Bill of Rights

New York City Requires Employee Bill of Rights

By July 1, 2024, covered employers (those employing workers who perform work within New York City) must provide a copy of the Employee Bill of Rights (“bill of rights”) to each current employee in New York City and provide the bill of rights to each new covered employee on or before the employee’s first day of work.  This law also carries a posting requirement, which requires that covered employers must post the bill of rights in an area that is accessible and visible to employees and it also must (additionally) be posted on the employer’s website for employers that use a website or mobile application to regularly communicate with employees.  Covered employers who fail to comply with this new requirement will incur a $500 penalty, while also being afforded a 30-day window to cure the violation following the first complaint made against the employer.
