New York Legislature to Consider Amendment to the New York Retail Worker Safety Act
The New York Retail Worker Safety Act (S8358C/A8947C) has been signed into law and the effective date of March 4, 2025, is fast approaching. Meanwhile, there have been some discussions of a possible amendment before the law goes into effect. The governor’s office has been working with the legislature to modify certain provisions of the act.
While the proposed amendment has not been finalized, it is anticipated that it will be submitted to the legislature to be voted on at the start of the next session in January 2025. Although this amendment is not yet law, employers can take note of the anticipated changes as they prepare for compliance.
