Client Alert – UPDATE: Expanded Sick Leave Obligations for New York City Employers

The amendments to the New York City Earned Safe and Sick Time Act (ESSTA) discussed in our prior alert have been automatically enacted due to the Mayor’s failure to either sign or veto the bill passed by the City Counsel. Based upon the October 25, 2025 enactment, the ESSTA amendments, discussed further in our client alert below, go into effect on February 22, 2026.
