New York Breakfast Briefing - When Compliance Collides: Navigating Federal, NY, and NJ Leave & Accommodation Requirements

Navigating the patchwork of federal, New York, and New Jersey leave and accommodation requirements can be challenging for employers. Understanding how these laws interact, where obligations overlap, and the common compliance pitfalls is critical to reducing risk and responding effectively to employee requests.

Join Seyfarth for an in-person breakfast briefing as we examine the evolving landscape of leave and accommodation laws across the tri-state area. This program will provide practical guidance on key requirements, recent developments, and the areas where employers most frequently encounter challenges, including:

• Federal Requirements – We will discuss key obligations, interactions, and common pitfalls relating to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).
• New York Laws – We will discuss the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL) and New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL), plus New York Paid Family Leave (PFL), New York Lactation Accommodation, New York State Paid Sick Leave and Prenatal Leave laws, and New York City Earned Safe and Sick Time Act (ESSTA) including the prenatal leave requirement, and how these laws interact with each other.
• New Jersey Laws – We will discuss the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA), New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (NJFLI), and New Jersey Temporary Disability Benefits Insurance (NJTDI), including recent developments and compliance challenges.
