New York State New Sick Leave Law Effective September 30, 2020
As of September 30th 2020, all New York State employers are required to provide sick leave to their employees under New York State Sick Leave (NYSSL) law. The number of employees entitled to use NYSSL varies depending on organization size and income.
To determine an employer's size under the NYSSL, a calendar year is defined as the 12 month period from January 1st to December 31st. For purposes of using and accruing paid or unpaid leave under the law, a calendar year means the following:
1. The 12-month period from January 1st to December 31st, or 2. A regular and consecutive 12-month period, as determined by the employer
