The Van De Water Law Firm, P.C.

What does Covid-19 mean to employees and their employers in the event an employee is terminated? What protections are available to employees when they are faced with an unwanted termination? There is help under new legislation in New York State and the Federal Government! In order to assure employees are fully protected during the COVID crisis, on March 18, 2020, New York adopted new legislation that provides New York employees with paid sick leave in response to the COVID-1...9 outbreak. This law applies equally to all employers with any employees located in New York State. Importantly, an employee is eligible for paid time off if they present to their employer a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation. Such an order (a COVID-19 Order) is one 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. https://chrisvandewater.com/employee-protection-covid19-cr/
