New York State Amends Trapped at Work Act

As employers will recall, last year New York State enacted the Trapped at Work Act, which prohibits arrangements in which employees agree to repay certain funds to their employer if they leave employment before a specified date. Amendments to the Act were recently enacted, which postpone the effective date of the Act to at least December 19, 2026 as well as clarify the types of arrangements that are prohibited. You can read more about the substantive amendments to the Act in our prior alert.
