BILL NUMBER: S3371 SPONSOR: PERSAUD TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law and the labor law, in relation to prohibiting discrimination against any individual with an actual or perceived status as a victim of domestic violence, a sex offense, or stalking PURPOSE: The purpose of the bill is to strengthen. existing workplace protections for survivors of gender-based violence, by ensuring that broader catego- ries of survivors are covered and that survivors have access to broad and meaningful reasonable accommodations, beyond leave, to escape and address abuse while maintaining their financial security. Because many employers remain unaware of existing protections or often fail to comply, putting survivors at risk, this bill also seeks to ensure that employers are required to include these protections within their mandated workplace policies and training to address current gaps in awareness and compliance.
