This week in New York City, a bill was introduced in the NY City Council that would possibly expand the “Earned Safe and Sick Time Act” to include an employee’s care for companion or service animals that need medical diagnosis, care, or treatment of a physical illness, injury or health condition that needs preventative medical care. Currently, the Act covers employees to use time for care and treatment of themselves or a family member. The Act also allows employees to seek legal and social service assistance or take safety measures if an employee or family member may be a victim of domestic violence, sexual abuse, or human trafficking. The Act currently requires that employers provide their employees the following number of hours of paid leave each calendar year for the above existing reasons: 5-99 employees: up to 40 hours; 100+ employees: up to 56 hours. This amendment would expand the reasons which permit employees to use existing paid leave to take care their companion or service animals. Stay tuned! We will keep you apprised of any updates as they come out.

Governor Ned Lamont announced on September 27, 2024, that the minimum wage in the State of Connecticut will increase from $15.69 to $16.35. This increase is in accordance with Public Act 19-4, signed in 2019, that connects state minimum wage to economic indicators by using the employment cost index. The employment cost index had a 4.2% increase in 2024, which attributed to the $0.66 increase in the state-wide minimum wage. It is crucial that Connecticut employers ensure that they are adhering to the minimum wage increase by the date of effectiveness, January 1, 2025.
