NY DCWP Releases Workers’ Bill of Rights

On March 1, 2024, the New York Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) released an updated version of the Workers’ Bill of Rights, which is a comprehensive guide to workplace rights in New York City. The City collaborated with the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) and the New York City Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) for the creation of this multilingual guide. This newly expanded version includes additional city laws, as well as state and federal laws that protect workers and job applicants in New York City, regardless of their immigration status.

key highlights

The Workers Bill of Rights includes information on the rights enforced by DCWP, such as Paid Safe and Sick Leave, Temporary Schedule Changes and Fair Workweek Law, and New York City’s Delivery Worker Laws.

It also includes information about the rights enforced by other state and federal agencies, such as minimum wage and the right to organize.

Additionally, it includes information about who to contact for more information or with questions, including how employees can file a complaint.

By July 1, 2024, all New York City employers must post “Your Rights at Work” poster in a location visible to employees. The notice must also be distributed to employees, as well as posted to their intranet or mobile app if “such means are regularly used to communicate” with employees.
