Minimum Wage
Workers in New York will be getting a little more money in their paycheck in the new year. The state will be increasing the minimum wage from $11.80 an hour to $12.50 an hour. Workers in the fast-food industry will see an increase from $13.75 an hour to $14.50 an hour.
Paid time off
Workers who are eligible will now have access to up to 12 weeks of job-protected paid time off. This is for people looking to bond with a newborn child, to either recover from or assist a loved one who is ill (COVID), or assist a loved one who s family member is deployed overseas.
