REMINDER: NYC Employers: Worker’s Bill of Rights Law Goes Into Effect July 1, 2024 – Action Required

Share:

As we previously reported,  New York City’s Workers’ Bill of Rights Law (“Law”) goes into effect on July 1, 2024. The Law requires Employers to:

  • Provide all employees with the “Know your rights at work poster (“Poster”);
  • Provide all new hires with the Poster on or prior to the employee’s first day;
  • Prominently display the Poster at the workplace and, in some cases, on employee websites and through other electronic means; and
  • Ensure that the Poster is provided in English and any language spoken as the primary language by at least 5% of the workforce.

Failure to comply could result in a $500 penalty. However, the law provides a 30-day cure period to correct the problem following the first violation.
