On April 3, 2020, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a comprehensive budget bill that, among other things, amends the New York Labor Law1 to require all New York employers to provide paid or unpaid sick leave to their employees. The State of New York now joins other states and municipalities (including New York City and Westchester County) that have mandatory sick leave requirements in place. The New York State sick leave law was originally part of a bill that eventually became law on March 18, 2020, which requires employers to provide sick leave to employees who are subject to a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation as a result of COVID-19. The New York State sick leave law was stripped from that bill.
