As you know, in response to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), New York State implemented programs that guarantee workers job protection and financial compensation in the event they, or their minor dependent child, are subject to a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation issued by the state of New York, the Department of Health, local board of health, or any government entity duly authorized to issue such order due to COVID-19.
Specifically, employers have been required to provide job protected, paid COVID-19 sick leave to employees who needed to take leave because they are under a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation due to COVID-19.
Starting July 31, 2025, New York employers will no longer have to provide COVID-19 sick leave to employees.
