Besides minimum wage increases, employers now need to provide more sick leave days, expand bereavement leave to reproductive loss, and allow off-the-clock cannabis use.
SB 616 guarantees workers at least five paid sick days per year and increases the cap employers can place on such from 6 to 10 days and 48 to 80 hours.
As he vowed to do for years, Mayor Michael Bloomberg used his power of veto on the Paid Sick Leave bill on June 7.
The paid sick leave bill passed New York City Council Wednesday. The bill will provide 40 hours of paid time off for workers beginning in April 2014.
