BILL NUMBER: S5152 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the labor law, in relation to preventing workplace violence PURPOSE : Requires notification of actions of perpetrator of crime in workplace to former employer or workplace SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Paragraph A of subdivision 2 of section 27-B of the Labor Law, as added by Chapter 82 of the laws of 2006 is amended. Section 27-B of the Labor Law is amended by adding a new subdivision 7. JUSTIFICATION : The purpose of this bill is to notify an employer or workplace when a former employee is released from incarceration or has violated his/her probation or parole, if the original crime was committed in the workplace and the employer was responsible for calling the police. This bill would safeguard employers and employees from potential retaliation from former employees who have committed workplace violence or crimes in the workplace. Notifying an employer would enable a workplace to take the proper measures or precautions to protect themselves and their employees.
