New York City has agreed to a temporary stay of enforcement of the deduction portion of the Fair Workweek Law. 

Starting on July 18, 2018, New York City employers will be required to provide temporary schedule changes to employees for “personal events.” 

The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs has released the “Fair Workweek Rules" and has issued required employee notices, overviews, and Frequently-Asked-Questions.

We previously provided clients with employees working in New York with an Employer Toolkit, which summarizes key provisions of the New York Paid Family Leave Law and regulations. We have updated the Toolkit to include additional information on how the law applies to unionized employees.  This information can be found on page five.
