Starting today, employers in New York must adhere to amendments under the state’s Human Rights Law (NYHRL), which extends all anti-discrimination protections to non-employee service providers (e.g., independent contractors) and prohibits mandatory arbitration clauses for discrimination claims. Until now, employers with fewer than 4 employees were exempt from this law, but starting on February 8, 2020, all employers are subject to it.
