Employer sick leave requirements in New York State have returned to the pre-pandemic mandates.
New York State employers are no longer required to provide COVID-specific sick time to employees. Since March 2020, New York employers have been required to provide sick time—in addition to what is required under the New York Paid Sick Leave Law—for employees who are under a mandatory order of quarantine or isolation because of COVID-19. This COVID-specific sick time requirement ended on July 31.
