Yearly. Companies in New York State must provide interactive sexual harassment training once per year for all employees. Training must also be provided to new employees upon their start with the company. Because these requirements may change, it is always advisable to consult with an experienced New York employment attorney.
Employers may not ask about an applicant’s criminal record until after a conditional offer of employment has been made. Once an employer offers the applicant a position, it can ask about and consider the applicant’s criminal record. However, the company may not inquire about arrests that did not lead to a conviction (unless it is still pending and not adjourned in contemplation of dismissal) or any sealed convictions.
Employees who are paid on a salary basis are still likely to be eligible for overtime. In order to avoid this, the employer must show that an exemption applies to the at-issue employee. Job title and salary alone are insufficient to prove an overtime exemption. The test is determined by the duties of the employee.
It depends. NY Labor Law Section 195.5 requires employers to notify employees in writing or by publicly posting the employer’s policy on sick leave, vacation, personal leave, holidays, and hours. Generally, where an employee handbook provides that vacation days will be paid, or if the book is silent, such time must be paid out upon termination. It is important to note that if the policy provides that vacation is not paid upon termination, the policy must be adhered to in order to avoid a pattern and practice claim.
Worker misclassification occurs when a bona fide, common law employee is classified to be an “independent contractor.” In some cases, employers intentionally misclassify workers to avoid tax withholding, overtime pay, and insurance requirements, such as Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment Insurance. However, misclassification can also occur simply because the employer fails to properly understand and apply the law. States, including New York and New Jersey, have established legal tests for determining whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor. Because even innocent mistakes can lead to significant legal liability, it is worthwhile to work with an experienced wage-and-hour attorney when classifying workers.
