BILL NUMBER: S1958

SPONSOR: KRUEGER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to clarifying that work-
ers shall not be punished or subjected to discipline by employers for
lawful absences

 
PURPOSE:

To ensure that employers communicate the law clearly to their employees
so they know their rights and that employees are granted a good faith
interactive process before being subject to unwarranted disciplinary
action.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of this bill is the legislative intent.

Section 2 amends the executive law to add a new subdivision 39 of

section 292 to define the term "absence control or no-fault attendance
policy".

Section 3 amends the executive law to add a new paragraph (i) to section
296 to stipulate that it shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice
for an employer, labor organization, or employment agency to discipline
employees for protected absences without engaging in a good faith,
interactive process to consider whether an employee is entitled to a
reasonable accommodation.

Section 4 amends the executive law by creating a new paragraph j of
section 296 that requires employers to provide employees written notice
of their rights to disability, sick time, pregnancy accommodations, and
family leave. Employers must also include notice to the employee of
their right to access such policies, their right to exercise such rights
without retaliation, and their right to reinstatement following use of
family leave. Such policy shall also offer details about the various
sections of law that provide such protections. The Division of Human
Rights shall develop a model absence control policy that meets the
requirements of this section.  Employers can be penalized $50 per day
that their attendance policy is out of compliance.

Section 5 amends subdivision 3 of section 296 of the Executive Law to
specify that as part of the good faith, interactive process, the employ-
er must allow the employee a reasonable opportunity to procure medical
or other information which may preclude disciplinary action.

Section 6 of this bill establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Employees have the right to take legally-protected time off from their
jobs to address certain medical, caregiving, and religious needs without
penalty. Pregnant workers may need to take time off for a prenatal
check-up or to obtain emergency medical care. Workers who are caregivers
may need to stay home with a sick child or an elderly parent. Workers
who have chronic health conditions, or who suddenly become ill, may need
to seek ongoing or immediate medical attention.
Too often, however, absence control or "no-fault" attendance policies
violate workers' rights in New York State and discourage them from
taking job-protected leave or time off to which they are entitled by
law. Under such policies, employees are assessed points (also referred
to as "demerits" or "occurrences") for each absence regardless of the
reason. Those points subject workers to discipline, often including
termination. Such policies may force employees to choose between taking
care of their health and keeping their job.

Employers maintain policies that "reliably fail to inform workers about
their legal rights to take time off without punishment for certain
illnesses, health conditions, or disabilities, or for the need to care
for an ill loved one" under state, local, and federal civil rights laws.
According to A Better Balance survey, the policies of sixty-six U.S.
employers impacting approximately eighteen million workers, more than
80% of those policies failed to make clear that employees would not
receive points for disability-related absences; many provided incomplete
or misleading information to workers regarding their right to time off
under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); and the majority
of the policies indicated that workers will incur points when they miss
work because they are sick.

It is the intent of the New York State Legislature to make it explicitly
clear that workers shall not be punished or subjected to discipline for
lawful absences. Workers have the right to take legally-protected time
off from their jobs to address certain medical, caregiving, and reli-
gious needs without penalty.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect 90 days after it becomes law. Effective imme-
diately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation
necessary for the implementation of this act on its effective date are
authorized to be made and completed on or before such date.

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to clarifying that  work-
   ers  shall not be punished or subjected to discipline by employers for
   lawful absences

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section   1.  Legislative  intent.  Too  often,  absence  control,  or
 "no-fault" attendance policies, violate  workers'  rights  in  New  York
 state and discourage them from taking job-protected leave or time off to
 which  they  are  entitled  by  law.  Under  such  policies, workers are
 assessed points (sometimes referred to as "demerits"  or  "occurrences")
 for  each  absence - regardless of the reason - and those points subject
 them to discipline, often including  termination.  Employers  ignore  or
 interfere  with these rights due to ambiguities in the law and their own
 policies and practices. By punishing workers for any absence,  including
 absences  protected by law, absence control policies frequently threaten
 public health and family economic security, and undermine New York state
 workplace rights.    According to A Better  Balance,  which  released  a
 report  detailing  legal concerns with "no-fault" attendance policies in
 June 2020, some of the nation's largest employers maintain policies that
 "reliably fail to inform workers about their legal rights to  take  time
 off  without  punishment  for  certain  illnesses, health conditions, or
 disabilities, or for the need to care for an ill loved one" under state,
 local, and federal civil rights laws. After surveying  the  policies  of
 sixty-six  U.S. employers impacting approximately eighteen million work-
 ers, A Better Balance found that more than 80% of those policies  failed
 to make clear that employees would not receive points for disability-re-
 lated  absences;  many  provided incomplete or misleading information to
 workers regarding their right to time off under the federal  Family  and

 Medical  Leave  Act  (FMLA);  and the majority of the policies indicated
 that workers will incur points when they  miss  work  because  they  are
 sick.    It  is  the intent of the New York state legislature to make it
 explicitly  clear  that  workers  shall  not be punished or subjected to
 discipline for lawful absences. Workers have the right to take  legally-
 protected  time off from their jobs to address certain medical, caregiv-
 ing, and religious needs without penalty.
   § 2. Section 292 of the executive law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
 subdivision 39 to read as follows:
   39.  THE  TERM  "ABSENCE  CONTROL OR NO-FAULT ATTENDANCE POLICY" SHALL
 MEAN A POLICY MAINTAINED  BY  AN  EMPLOYER  UNDER  WHICH  EMPLOYEES  ARE
 ASSESSED  "POINTS,"  INCLUDING  BUT  NOT  LIMITED TO, DEMERITS OR OCCUR-
 RENCES, FOR EACH ABSENCE, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR SUCH ABSENCE, AND
 THOSE POINTS SUBJECT THE EMPLOYEE TO  PROGRESSIVE  DISCIPLINARY  ACTION,
 INCLUDING,  BUT  NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURE TO RECEIVE A PROMOTION, LOSS OF
 PAY, OR TERMINATION.
   § 3. Subdivision 1 of section 296 of the executive law is  amended  by
 adding a new paragraph (i) to read as follows:
   (I)  FOR  AN  EMPLOYER,  LABOR  ORGANIZATION,  OR EMPLOYMENT AGENCY TO
 ASSESS POINTS, OCCURRENCES, OR OTHERWISE DISCIPLINE  EMPLOYEES,  INCLUD-
 ING,  BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THROUGH AN ABSENCE CONTROL OR NO-FAULT ATTEND-
 ANCE POLICY, FOR ABSENCES RELATED TO A KNOWN  DISABILITY,  PREGNANCY-RE-
 LATED  CONDITION,  OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED BY LAW, WITHOUT FIRST ENGAGING
 IN A GOOD FAITH, INTERACTIVE PROCESS TO CONSIDER WHETHER AN EMPLOYEE  IS
 ENTITLED TO A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION.
   §  4.  Subdivision 1 of section 296 of the executive law is amended by
 adding a new paragraph (j) to read as follows:
   (J)(I) FOR AN EMPLOYER, LABOR ORGANIZATION, OR  EMPLOYMENT  AGENCY  TO
 MAINTAIN  AN  ABSENCE  CONTROL  OR NO-FAULT ATTENDANCE POLICY, UNLESS IT
 COMPLIES WITH THE FOLLOWING:
   (A) THE POLICY SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED IN WRITING TO ALL CURRENT  EMPLOY-
 EES  WITHIN  THIRTY DAYS OF WHEN THIS LAW BECOMES EFFECTIVE. THEREAFTER,
 THE POLICY SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED IN WRITING TO ALL EMPLOYEES AT THE  TIME
 OF HIRE AND WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF WHEN ANY CHANGES TO THE POLICY ARE MADE;
   (B)  EMPLOYEES MUST HAVE A MEANS OF ACCESSING THE POLICY BOTH AT THEIR
 PHYSICAL WORKPLACE AND OUTSIDE OF IT;

 CONSEQUENCES,  SUCH AS BE ASSESSED WITH POINTS OR OCCURRENCES, OR OTHER-
 WISE FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION, FOR ABSENCES THAT ARE PROTECTED BY LAW;
   (D) THE POLICY MUST SPECIFICALLY REFERENCE AND  PROVIDE  A  REASONABLE
 AMOUNT  OF DETAIL ABOUT ALL LAWS THAT PROVIDE LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR TIME
 OFF AND LEGALLY PROTECTED REASONS FOR LEAVE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT  LIMITED
 TO,  (I)  THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101
 ET SEQ., AS AMENDED; (II) THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT OF  1993,  29

 BY THE EMPLOYER TO RECEIVE OR INVESTIGATE  COMPLAINTS  ABOUT  ATTENDANCE
 ISSUES,  AND  EXAMINE  AN  EMPLOYER'S RECORDS, POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND
 TRAINING MATERIALS RELATED TO THE  REQUIREMENTS  OF  THIS  SECTION.  THE
 ATTORNEY  GENERAL  SHALL  ADOPT  RULES  AS  NECESSARY  TO  IMPLEMENT THE
 PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBDIVISION.

BILL NUMBER: S1958A

SPONSOR: KRUEGER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the labor law, in relation to clarifying that workers
shall not be punished or subjected to discipline by employers for lawful
absences

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To ensure that it shall be retaliation for an employer to discipline
workers by assessing point or deductions from a timebank when an employ-
ee has used any legally protected absence.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of this bill amends section 215 of the labor law to clarify
that it is retaliation for an employer to discipline workers by assess-
ing points or deductions from a timebank because an employee has used
any legally protected absence.

Section 2 established the effective date.

 
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE):

Creates protections by ensuring that such assignment of points is
considered retaliation under section 215 of the labor law instead of
creating new sections of the labor and executive laws.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Employees have the right to take legally-protected time off from their
jobs to address certain medical, caregiving, and religious needs without
penalty. Pregnant workers may need to take time off for a prenatal
check-up or to obtain emergency medical care. Workers who are caregivers
may need to stay home with a sick child or an elderly parent. Workers
who have chronic health conditions, or who suddenly become ill, may need
to seek ongoing or immediate medical attention.  Too often, however,
absence control or "no-fault" attendance policies violate workers'
rights in New York State and discourage them from taking job-protected
leave or time off to which they are entitled by law. Under such poli-
cies, employees are assessed points (also referred to as "demerits" or
"occurrences") for each absence regardless of the reason. Those points
subject workers to discipline, often including termination. Such poli-
cies may force employees to choose between taking care of their health
and keeping their job.

Employers maintain policies that "reliably fail to inform workers about
their legal rights to take time off without punishment for certain
illnesses, health conditions, or disabilities, or for the need to care
for an ill loved one" under state, local, and federal civil rights laws.
According to A Better Balance survey, the policies of sixty-six U.S.
employers impacting approximately eighteen million workers, more than
80% of those policies failed to make clear that employees would not
receive points for disability-related absences; many provided incomplete
or misleading information to workers regarding their right to time off
under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); and the majority
of the policies indicated that workert will incur points when they miss
work because they are sick. It is the intent of the New York State
Legislature to make it explicitly clear that workers shall not be
punished or subjected to discipline for lawful absences. Workers have
the right to take legally-protected time off from their jobs to address
certain medical, caregiving, and religious needs without penalty.
