NY A06620

Establishes the "Let Employees Access Vacation Time Easily (LEAVE) Act" requiring employers to provide paid leave in addition to existing paid sick leave requirements

Employers with 5-99 employees must provide up to 40 hours of paid sick leave plus 40 hours of paid leave per calendar year; employers with 100+ employees must provide up to 56 hours of paid sick leave plus 40 hours of paid leave

Small employers (4 or fewer employees) with net income over $1 million must provide 40 hours of paid sick leave and 40 hours of paid leave; those under $1 million provide unpaid sick leave only

Paid leave accrues at a rate of one hour per every 30 hours worked, with unused leave carrying over to the following year, though employers may cap annual use at the applicable limits

Employers may set a minimum increment of up to 4 hours per day for paid leave or paid sick leave use, and the effective date for sick leave provisions is moved to January 1, 2027
