Attention Bosses: New York State Requires You Post This

There is a law that must be posted in workplaces across New York State and employers must be compliant or risk a fine.

The summer is flying on by and as we start a new month, thousands in New York State will be taking some time off to celebrate Independence Day!

When you arrive back to work, there may be a new poster on the wall that is required by New York State.

According to a poster that we found in our office, the poster explains the "New York State HERO Act".

According to the New York State Department of Labor, the law says: "The NYS Health and Essential Rights Act (NY HERO ACT), which protects private sector employees against exposure and disease during a future airborne infectious disease outbreak".

Since the COVID pandemic, employers have found new ways to try to get employees back to the offices and some employees have been weary about doing so. IN an effort to help keep everyone safe when on the job, this poster MUST be visible for all who work in the office.

Not only are offices supposed to be healthy and safe, they should also be free from various workplace discrimination and harassment.

Look for the poster when you get back to work this summer or fall and take some time to get familiar with the laws it explains.
