NY A06527

Amends Labor Law Section 196-b to change sick leave requirements based on full-time equivalent employees rather than total employee headcount.

Employers with four or fewer full-time equivalent employees must provide up to 40 hours of unpaid sick leave annually, or paid sick leave if the employer had net income exceeding $1 million in the previous tax year.

All other employers must provide sick leave at a rate of not less than one hour per every 30 regular hours worked.

Defines "regular hours" as hours a nonexempt employee works for their employer without being entitled to overtime pay.

Takes effect immediately upon enactment.
