On June 23, 2026, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) issued final rules implementing recent amendments to New York City’s Earned Sick and Safe Time Act (ESSTA). The final rules largely incorporate the rules proposed earlier this year, with a few key changes employers should be aware of before the rules take effect on July 23, 2026.
As we recently reported, on December 9, 2022, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Production (“DCWP”) announced that it was postponing enforcement of the Automated Employment Decision Tools (“AEDT”) law, until April 15, 2023, due to the high volume of public comments it received regarding its proposed rules.
