Prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals based on such individual's status as a caregiver

S 6634 prohibits New York employers from discriminating against employees or job applicants based on their status as a caregiver. It explicitly adds "caregiver" to the list of protected characteristics under state anti-discrimination law, alongside race, gender, disability, and other categories. The law defines a caregiver as someone providing daily care for a minor child, elderly person, or disabled family member (excluding domestic workers performing caregiving as part of their job). This protects individuals from employment discrimination related to caregiving responsibilities in hiring, pay, promotions, and other terms of employment.
