New York City offers several paid days off to employees for various reasons, and employers may soon have to comply with a new set of mandated paid days off.
New York City offers several paid days off to employees for
various reasons, and employers may soon have to comply with a new
set of mandated paid days off. Earlier this year, Mayor Bill de
Blasio proposed that employers with five or more employees should
be required to provide employees with 10 days of paid time off per
year. Employees would be able to use this time for any reason at
all and could begin using the paid time off after 120 days of
employment. The mayor's proposal includes permitting employers
to require at least two weeks' notice prior to an employee
taking paid leave and to impose "reasonable
restrictions," although it is unclear whether those will be
defined. This proposal still needs to be approved by the New York
City Council, and it will likely face strong opposition from New
York City's business advocates. There is not currently an
indication as to when or if the City Council will take up a vote on
this matter.
