What employers should know about key developments this week:

• New York City’s Enforcement Blitz: The city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection is cracking down on violations of the Protected Time Off Law, issuing warnings to 56,000 employers. Non-compliance risks hefty penalties for employers.
