New York Proposes Regulations on State Paid Family Leave Law
The New York State Paid Family Leave Law (PFL) will go into effect on January 1, 2018, and will require virtually all private employers in New York to provide paid family leave benefits to eligible employees. (Public employers are not required to participate, but may opt in to the program.) On February 22, 2017, the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) published proposed regulations that explain and clarify many aspects of the PFL, including, among other things, employers’ rights and responsibilities in providing paid family leave, employee eligibility for such leave, and the phase-in schedule of the PFL program.

New York Employers – 2013 Year in Review and Looking Ahead to 2014

It’s never too late to get your affairs in order, and the New Year provides you with the perfect opportunity to do so. And for those of you with employees here in New York, and especially in New York City, we implore you do so as the laws, as you’ll see below, are once again a changin.Below we look back at the year that was and discuss the year that will be in New York. … [Read more...] about New York Employers – 2013 Year in Review and Looking Ahead to 2014
It was horrible
Does Damian Green look like a Tory? I only wonder because he’s midway through an anecdote about how he was once mistaken for a Leninist revolutionary. He was bundled into a party and “fed free beer” before everyone was shushed and an earnest man informed them not to “associate” with Labour because it was “old and bureaucratic” and they were hardened Leftist purists. A panicked young Green then outed himself with the words “I’m at the wrong party. I don’t think you want me here.” Apparently his swish of “shoulder-length fair hair” had caused the Labourites to identify him as one of their own. “But you look normal,” they stammered, incredulous. “You are normal, we’ve spoken to you. You can’t be a Tory.” Green’s take from this is: “If they could have seen ahead they would have understood that that was why there was going to be a period of Tory hegemony, … [Read more...] about It was horrible
