New York Employment Law Updates for 2023
Beginning on January 1, 2023 and on dates to follow, several new and amended provisions of law in New York City and State will take effect. Employers should modify their employment practices to comply with each of them. Amendments include laws pertaining to:
- Use of Automated Employment Decision Tools: Employers who wish to commence or continue to use AEDTs in New York City “to substantially assist or replace discretionary decision making” must only use tools that have been subjected to a “bias audit” within the past year and provide proper notice of such use.
- No Fault Attendance Policies: As of February 19, 2023, New York employers cannot penalize workers for taking lawful absences under the guise of “no fault” or points-based attendance policies. Employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees who take absences that are legally protected under federal, state, or local law.
- Potential Minimum Wage Increase for Food Delivery Drivers
- Siblings Now Covered by New York State Paid Family Leave Law
