Bill > A09403

This bill amends the New York labor law to create a specific exemption from paid sick leave requirements for certain employers who provide contracted services. Specifically, the bill exempts an employer from providing paid sick leave if two conditions are met: (1) the employer is contractually required to provide services to another entity by having its employees work at the other entity's facilities for the entire daily work period, and (2) the employer must pay an additional employee to provide substitute services when the original contracted employee is absent. The bill emphasizes that while paid sick leave is not required under these circumstances, the employer is still obligated to provide unpaid sick leave as previously mandated by law. The exemption appears designed to address situations where employees are working continuously at a client's site and substitute workers are already being compensated to cover absences. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law, and during this period, regulators can prepare any necessary implementing rules or regulations.
