The New York Wage Theft Prevention Act (“NYWTPA”) requires employers to provide employees with an annual notice regarding their compensation and other terms of employment. The notice must be provided to all employees between January 1 and February 1 of each year, regardless if they previously received a notice.  Although the state legislature has passed a bill repealing this requirement, as of the date of this publication, the bill has not been signed by the governor and therefore, the requirement remains in effect.

For more information on the NYWTPA and steps to meet your compliance obligations please review the details below.

We would like to remind New Jersey clients of their obligation to annually distribute to their New Jersey employees, via written or electronic means, the required notice under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) in both English and Spanish. 

The cities of Passaic, East Orange, Paterson, and Irvington recently passed their own paid sick leave ordinance that will provide the majority of private employees working in those cities with paid sick leave.
