Mayor de Blasio Signs Bill to Expand Paid Safe and Sick Leave

Friday, October 2, 2020

On September 28, Mayor de Blasio signed Intro 2032-2020, which amends the NYC Paid Safe and Sick Leave, into law. The law expands paid safe and sick leave to employees of small businesses with four or fewer employees and a net income of more than $1 million, as well as to employees at businesses with 100 or more employees with up to 56 hours of paid sick leave. It also brings domestic workers in line with other private sector workers by allowing them to accrue and use leave the same as other private sector workers. For information about the law, read Update about Workplace Laws During COVID-19 which provides an overview of local, state and federal sick leave laws. Learn more at nyc.gov/workers.
