On May 5, 2018, an amendment went into effect expanding and renaming New York City’s Earned Sick Time Act (the “Act”). Since the Act went into effect on April 1, 2014, it has required private sector employers with 5 or more New York City-based employees to provide such employees with paid sick leave of up to 40 hours per twelve-month calendar year, and private sector employers with fewer than 5 New York City-based employees to provide such employees with the same amount of unpaid sick leave.
