New York City Expands Protections and Training Requirements for Independent Contractors

Effective January 11, 2020, the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL) protects independent contractors and freelancers from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation on the same terms as employees. In addition, independent contractors have the right to receive reasonable accommodations for needs related to disabilities, pregnancy, lactation, religious observance, and status as victims of domestic violence, sexual offenses, or stalking, absent undue hardship.
