Bill > A09582

This bill amends New York's labor law to ensure that delivery network company workers, defined as individuals who pick up and deliver orders for compensation through an agreement with a delivery network company, are considered "employees" for the purpose of accessing paid sick leave. It clarifies that the "employer" of these workers is the delivery network company itself, which is defined as an entity operating in New York exclusively using a digital network to connect customers with workers for deliveries, excluding transportation network companies and restaurants that use their own digital ordering systems. This change aims to provide these workers with access to paid sick leave benefits, which are a form of compensation for time off due to illness.
