| January 1 | In New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, the minimum wage rises to $16.50 per hour ($19.10 for home health aides). In the rest of New York State, the minimum wage rises to $15.50 per hour ($18.10 for home health aides). Privately employed pregnant New Yorkers get in addition to their existing sick leave, an additional 20 hours of paid time off. |
| January 10 | Good Cause eviction protections are signed into law by Mayor Evans. The law protects Rochester tenants from predatory rent hikes and unjust evictions and guarantees lease renewals to tenants who have been paying rent and following their lease. Landlords must have a good cause, such as non-payment or violating the lease, to remove a tenant. The law allows tenants to challenge rent hikes of more than 5% plus the Consumer Price Index or 10%, whichever is lower. |
