**Reminder: New York State Primary Election on June 25, 2024 - Employers, Be Proactive!** This primary election is a critical opportunity for New Yorkers to have their voices heard and to participate in the democratic process. For employers, this is a crucial time to ensure that your employees are informed about their rights and have the opportunity to vote. New York state law requires employers to provide employees with up to two hours of paid time off to vote if they do not have sufficient time outside of working hours. To comply with this law, employers must post a "Time Off To Vote" notice at least 10 working days before the election. Why Posting the "Time Off To Vote" Poster is Essential 1. **Legal Compliance**: By posting the required notice, employers ensure they are in compliance with state law. Failure to do so can result in penalties and can negatively impact your business reputation. 2. **Employee Engagement**: Showing your support for your employees’ right to vote fosters a positive work environment and demonstrates your commitment to civic responsibility. 3. **Avoiding Last-Minute Confusion**: Early communication about voting rights helps avoid confusion and ensures that employees are aware of their options well in advance of Election Day. Where to Find the "Time Off To Vote" Poster At LaborLawCenter, we understand the importance of making compliance straightforward and accessible. We offer the official "Time Off To Vote" posters, designed to meet all legal requirements and provide clear information to your employees.

June is Pride Month, a time significant for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to reflect on the history of the LGBTQ+ movement, celebrate its accomplishments, and acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead. It holds special significance for LGBTQ+ employees, providing a time to celebrate their identity, raise awareness of their struggles, and advocate for equality in the workplace. Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall riots of June 1969, a pivotal moment in the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. Over the years, it has evolved into a celebration of diversity, a promotion of inclusion and equality, and a fostering of worldwide acceptance. Today, Pride Month is marked by various events, from parades to educational workshops, all aimed at increasing understanding and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. Embracing Pride Month in the workplace means fostering inclusivity and fairness in all aspects of employment. Promoting policies, procedures, and practices that support LGBTQ+ employees ensures every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered. Organizations can demonstrate their support for LGBTQ+ employees by implementing comprehensive policies regarding non-discrimination, anti-harassment, equal employment opportunity, and family leave. We at LaborLawCenter recognize the importance of allyship and are committed to supporting workplace labor law compliance. Our selection of compliance products aims to educate employers and employees about their rights and responsibilities under federal and state labor laws, including those specific to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. This Pride Month let’s recognize the value of LGBTQ+ employees and encourage a workplace of acceptance, equality, and respect.
