Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast—"What the Trapped at Work Act Means for New York Employers"

They’re back for Episode 2! Listen in as Rosemary Enright and Michael Sciotti discuss the Trapped at Work Act, which prohibits employers in New York State from requiring employees to repay money if an employee leaves their job before a specified timeframe. Using specific examples, Rosemary and Mike explore who is affected by the act, the implications for employers, and the importance of compliance. The conversation also covers employment promissory notes, potential amendments to the law, and strategies for employers moving forward, including the need for self-audits and clear employee handbooks.
