Employment Law Services for New York Clients

Employment Contract Drafting and Review

New York employment agreements must account for state-specific requirements including wage transparency obligations, restrictions on non-compete enforcement, and paid leave mandates.

Severance and Separation Agreements

New York severance agreements are contracts that must be reviewed carefully. The financial terms, scope of the release, and any restrictive covenants all affect your rights and future options.

Non-Compete and Restrictive Covenant Analysis

New York has been considering legislation to restrict or ban non-compete agreements for certain employees. Employers and employees should stay informed about the current legal landscape. Our firm advises on the enforceability of existing agreements and drafts new provisions that comply with current law.

Workplace Policies and Employee Handbooks

New York employers face overlapping federal, state, and city compliance requirements that change regularly. We develop and update workplace policies, employee handbooks, and compliance programs that keep your business current.

Wage and Hour Compliance

New York employers must comply with federal and state wage and hour laws governing minimum wage, overtime, tip credits, spread of hours pay, and frequency of payment. Misclassification of employees as independent contractors or exempt employees is one of the most common and costly compliance errors. We audit classifications and ensure your payroll practices comply with applicable law.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

Federal, New York State, and New York City laws prohibit workplace discrimination based on protected characteristics including race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and national origin. New York employers must maintain anti-discrimination policies, conduct required training, and respond promptly to complaints. We advise on prevention, investigation, and response.

What New York Employers and Employees Should Know

New York's employment law landscape is among the most employee-protective in the country, with federal, state, and city laws creating overlapping compliance requirements. Employers must navigate minimum wage variations by region, paid leave mandates, anti-discrimination requirements, salary transparency rules, and evolving restrictions on non-compete agreements.

New York employers should conduct regular compliance audits covering wage and hour practices, employee classifications, required postings, training mandates, and handbook policies. The cost of a proactive audit is a fraction of the exposure from non-compliance.

New York employees at all levels should understand that employment agreements, severance packages, and restrictive covenants are negotiable. Having an attorney review these documents before signing often results in materially better terms.
