New York City Employers Must Make Room for Another Notice Distribution and Posting Requirement
New York State and City law already impose a myriad of posting and notice distribution requirements on New York City employers.
Beginning July 1, 2024, New York City employers must distribute to employees and "conspicuously post" a notice provided by city agencies that list employee rights under federal, state, and local law.
The notice will identify which laws apply to workers regardless of immigration status and include information about union organizing rights.
New employees must be provided this notice on or before the employee's first day of work.
After an initial violation of the law, employers that fail to follow the notice and posting requirements will be subject to a $500 civil penalty.
More importantly, this upcoming obligation reminds employers of the need to be vigilant on compliance, as the notice likely will remind employees of their rights and can encourage administrative and court claims asserting non-compliance. Further, employers that wish to remain union-free must focus on positive employee relations strategies.
