New York Expands Restrictions on Nondisclosure Agreements Related to Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Claims
New York State recently enacted laws to further restrict the use of nondisclosure agreements in connection with resolution of employment discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims and extend the statute of limitations to file complaints with the state enforcement agency. The laws are aimed at providing additional protections to those claiming employment discrimination and harassment and promoting the transparency efforts of the #MeToo movement.
