Description:

As COVID-19 spreads across neighborhoods, cities, and countries, New York City has been hit especially hard, becoming an epicenter of the virus. While the number of cases grows, legislative and executive bodies, at both the state and federal levels, have passed measures designed to mitigate the problems cropping up in the fallout. A key policy response to the crisis is the provision of paid sick leave. In this session, we will discuss the landscape of paid sick leave in NYC with details about the federal, state, and city laws. We will discuss how much sick time New Yorkers have access to and who lacks adequate coverage.
