S 4361 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to the commissioner's duty to ensure employers inform employees about certain provisions in employment contracts

This bill requires employers to inform employees that non-disclosure or non-disparagement clauses in their employment contracts do not prevent them from speaking with law enforcement, human rights agencies, or their own attorneys. The law mandates that employers explicitly state these provisions do not bar employees from discussing their cases with these specific entities. By adding this requirement to the labor law, the measure ensures workers are aware of their rights to communicate with regulators and legal representatives despite contractual restrictions.
