New York City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has released a multilingual and comprehensive guide to workers’ rights in the workplace in New York City. The Workers’ Bill of Rights summarizes city laws, such as paid sick and safe leave, and also includes state and federal laws that protect workers and job applicants in New York City, regardless of immigration status.

By July 1, 2024, all employers in New York City must post the required multilingual Your Rights at Work poster where employees can easily see it and give a copy to each employee.
