GOVERNOR CUOMO ANNOUNCED NEW YORKERS CAN BEGIN USING NEW PAID SICK LEAVE BENEFITS THAT STARTED JANUARY 1, 2021 UNDER STATE'S NATION-LEADING PAID SICK LEAVE LAW
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that New Yorkers can use sick leave benefits under the state's nation-leading paid sick leave law that started January 1, 2021. This legislation, which was advanced in the Governor's 2020 State of the State address and enacted as part of the FY 2021 Budget, secures paid sick leave for workers at medium and large businesses and paid or unpaid leave for those at small businesses, depending on the employer's net income. Under this groundbreaking law, New Yorkers can use guaranteed sick leave to recover from an illness themselves, care for a sick family member, or address safety needs if they or a family member are the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking. More information is available on the state's Paid Sick Leave website.
"Even before the coronavirus pandemic, we knew that no one should have to make the unimaginable choice between keeping their job or caring for themselves or a loved one. This public health crisis has put that need in even greater relief. Now, as we continue to beat back COVID and build a stronger New York, we are expanding this fundamental right to all New Yorkers," Governor Cuomo said. "New York has long championed workers' rights, and this strongest-in-the-nation paid sick leave law will help millions of our neighbors stay healthy—a boon for both businesses' bottom line and New Yorkers' well-being."

STRONG LEADERSHIP AND OUTCOMES FOR NEW YORKERS
ACTION BY 2021: Reinvent the role of the State Workforce Board to establish a compelling statewide vision anchored in equity and opportunity for New Yorkers. Establishing dynamic performance goals to measure progress in reconnecting New Yorkers to skills, work and economic mobility.
Under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act , the purpose of the federally mandated State Workforce Board is to provide a leadership role to ensure that the local workforce system in each State is customer and business-driven, and aligns federal investments to promote economic growth. As outlined in the 2018 Invest in Skills NY report, Leveraging Opportunity, Meeting Demand - A Blueprint for New York State’s Workforce System, “ the most effective workforce development systems have a demand-driven, regionally diverse statewide workforce board.” At this critical junction, New York State should maximize the role of the State Workforce Board to be an asset in coordination, development of a shared vision, outcomes, or accountability for results. Coordinated by the NYS Office of Workforce Development, the State Workforce Board should include leading employers from growing sectors, experts in postsecondary education, workforce and employment providers, state agency leadership, and economic development stakeholders.
