As of 2024, COVID-19 related pay policies in New York have evolved significantly since the height of the pandemic. The state had implemented various emergency measures and benefits during the pandemic, including paid sick leave for those affected by COVID-19. However, many of these provisions have expired or been modified as the situation has improved and the state has transitioned to a post-pandemic phase.
Employers are generally no longer mandated to provide specific COVID-19 pay, but they must adhere to standard labor laws regarding sick leave and employee rights. It is essential for employees to check with their employers about any available sick leave policies and any updates on COVID-19 related benefits.
For the most accurate and current information, workers in New York should consult the New York State Department of Health or the New York State Department of Labor’s official resources.
