Syracuse, N.Y. -- A new law in New York requires employers to offer up to four hours of time off so workers can get their Covid-19 vaccinations.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the legislation into law on Friday.
It requires all employers -- public and private -- to grant up to four hours of time off for each vaccination shot. The law is meant to keep workers from using any vacation time to get vaccinated.
The law goes into effect immediately. It is set to expire at the end of 2022.
