 On March 12, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation providing all public and private employees in New York up to four hours of paid leave per vaccine injection to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine. The new law, which adds a new Section 159-c to the New York Civil Service Law and a new Section 196-c to the New York Labor Law, provides that the paid COVID-19 vaccination leave may not be charged against any other leave that the employee is entitled to, such as any paid sick leave or any leave provided under a collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The law, which expires by its terms on December 21, 2022, requires that employers provide a “sufficient period of time,” up to four hours, to be paid at the employee’s regular rate of pay, for each COVID-19 vaccine injection. read more

 Effective December 31, 2020, the minimum wage increased for all private sector employees in the state except for those who work in New York City. The minimum wage increased from $13.00 to $14.00 per hour for employees working in Long Island and Westchester, and from $11.80 per hour to $12.50 per hour for the rest of the state except New York City, where the minimum is already $15.00 per hour. This could lead to an increase in labor costs for employers in New York.
