Companies that hire freelancers in New York soon will be required to enter into written contracts and provide timely payments under a new law taking effect May 20, 2024.
Legislation recently signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker will expand leave for bereaving a child and for mourning victims of violent crime; establish new leave for organ donation; and provide protections for freelance workers and temporary workers.
There is no guarantee that the US Department of Labor (DOL) will stick to its own timeline, but a new court filing suggests the agency intends to finalize its proposed independent contractor rule before October 7.
