The New York City Council passed the Earned Sick Time Act (“the Act”) on May 8, 2013. The Act requires that New York City businesses provide all employees with protected sick leave for their own or a family member’s illness, but its effective date was contingent on the performance of New York City’s economy. City Council member Gale Brewer, the sponsor of the Act, has announced that, based on economic indicators, the Act will go into effect on April 1, 2014.
