Paid Safe and Sick Leave Law: Notice of Employee Rights

Paid Safe and Sick Leave: Notice of Employee Rights

Under New York City's Earned Safe and Sick Time Act (Paid Safe and Sick Leave Law), certain employees have a right to safe and sick leave. Employers must provide the written notice of safe and sick leave rights to employees when they begin employment or when their rights change. You have a right to be given the notice in English and, if available on this DCWP webpage, your primary language. Employers must also post the notice in the workplace in an area that is visible and accessible to employees in English and in any language that is the primary language of at least five percent of employees at the workplace, if available on this DCWP webpage.

Note: DCWP updated the Notice of Rights on May 30, 2025 to include the right to paid prenatal leave. Employers must post and give each employee this updated notice.
