To help prepare employers for the New Year, on January 19, 2023, we presented a webinar regarding some of the latest updates to New York employment laws. The webinar, "New Year, New Updates for New York Employment Laws," covered five topics: (1) New York's pay transparency law—what it says and what we have learned, (2) updates to workplace poster requirements, (3) minimum wage increases for overtime exempt and non-exempt staff, (4) paid vaccination leave updates, and (5) paid family leave updates. In case you missed it, or you just want a refresher, here's a recap of what we discussed during the webinar.
New York has joined the wave of states around the country that have passed pay transparency laws, which, generally speaking, require covered employers to disclose or post pay ranges for available jobs. On December 21, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation amending the New York Labor Law and establishing a statewide pay transparency law that is expected to take effect on September 17, 2023 (the NYS Pay Transparency Law or NYS Law). This statewide law adds to the bevy of pay transparency laws already enacted by local legislatures in New York, such as in New York City (the NYC Pay Transparency Law or NYC Law, effective November 1, 2022), Westchester County (effective November 6, 2022), Ithaca (effective September 1, 2022), and, soon, Albany (effective February 12, 2023).
