Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a workplace readiness week for secondary school students
AI Summary
This bill establishes a "Workplace Readiness Week" in New York state, during which all secondary schools must provide information to students on their rights as workers. This includes coverage of child labor laws, wage and hour protections, worker safety, workers' compensation, paid sick leave, prohibitions against retaliation, and the right to organize a union. The bill also requires that eleventh and twelfth-grade students receive this education integrated into their regular school curriculum, and that any minor seeking working papers be issued a document explaining their basic labor rights. The goal is to ensure that young workers in New York enter the workforce with a strong understanding of their legal protections and rights.
