New York Employment Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

ADA + Disability Accommodation in New York

New York disabled employees are protected by the federal ADA (15+ employees) + state law — employers must engage in interactive process + provide reasonable accommodations unless undue hardship.

Age Discrimination in New York

New York workers age 40+ are protected by the federal ADEA + state law from age discrimination — but the Supreme Court's Gross v. FBL standard requires "but-for" causation, making cases harder than other discrimination claims.

At-Will Employment in New York

New York follows the at-will employment rule — either side can end employment for any reason or no reason. New York recognizes the implied contract exception.

Employee Handbook Disputes in New York

New York employee handbooks can create implied contracts limiting at-will employment — but proper disclaimers preserve at-will status. NLRA also restricts certain handbook policies for employees.

Equal Pay Law in New York

FMLA and Family Leave in New York

Federal FMLA gives eligible employees 12 weeks of UNPAID leave for qualifying family and medical reasons. New York's state-level paid leave: Paid Family Leave (PFL) — up to 12 weeks at 67% wages (since 2018).

Hostile Work Environment in New York

New York hostile work environment claims require severe + pervasive conduct based on protected status — but post-2024 EEOC guidance has lowered some threshold standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be fired for no reason?

In most states employment is at-will, but you can't be fired for illegal reasons — discrimination, retaliation, or reporting wrongdoing. A lawyer can tell you if that applies to you.

Is there a deadline for employment claims?

Yes, and some are short — discrimination charges often must be filed with the EEOC within 180 or 300 days. Talk to a lawyer promptly.
