Paid Sick Leave Survey - Your Input is Needed by August 12! | |
The Partnership for New York City is coordinating a survey of the city's employers in connection with the paid sick leave legislation that is pending in the City Council. The purpose is to provide the Council with an accurate picture of both current employer practices and potential costs of the proposed sick leave mandate. All New York City private and non-profit employers, both small and large, are asked to complete an easy online survey.
Responses will be kept confidential and we hope you will take the time to complete the survey, regardless of whether the proposed legislation directly affects your business, as this is an important issue for the New York City business climate as a whole.
Responses are requested by August 12, 2010. We encourage businesses to circulate the survey to clients and other business owners so that a wide range of data can be collected. Click here to complete this confidential survey and inform the Council of your experience.
