Public employees in New York can’t be penalized for taking sick leave or compensatory time for reasons related to COVID-19 thanks to a bill signed into law Thursday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Under the new measure, public employers are specifically prohibited from penalizing employees who use sick leave or compensatory time to quarantine or seek medical treatment for COVID-19, or for other absences related to a COVID-19 diagnosis or contact.
That means those working in schools, local governments or state prisons can’t be dismissed or hit with write-ups for COVID-19 related absences, Cuomo said.

No one should have to suffer a penalty for missing work because of COVID, and under this new law, every public employee in our state will get the protection they deserve so they don t have to face unfair consequences for doing what was necessary to protect themselves and their loved ones,” he said.
