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

New York equal-pay law combines federal Equal Pay Act + Title VII with state-level pay-equity statutes — many of which are stronger than federal law (CA, NY, MA, WA, others).

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.

Independent Contractor Misclassification in New York

New York worker classification: Multiple tests including ABC for some categories. Misclassification as independent contractor (1099) instead of employee (W-2) creates substantial liability for employers + lost rights for workers.

LGBTQ+ Employment Discrimination in New York

New York LGBTQ+ employment discrimination is illegal under federal Title VII (per Bostock v. Clayton County 2020) + many state laws — sexual orientation + gender identity protected as "sex" discrimination.

Minimum Wage in New York

New York minimum wage: $16.

Non-Compete Enforceability in New York

New York enforces non-competes that meet a reasonableness test.

Non-Solicitation Agreements in New York

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.
