As a follow-up to this week’s Business in 2025 webinar, Bond labor and employment attorney Kristen E. Smith provided an update on the status of a New York labor law provision that requires employers to notify workers in their employee handbooks that they cannot be discriminated against on the basis of their reproductive health care choices.

On January 2, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated an injunction that previously blocked the handbook policy requirement in Section 203-e of the New York labor law. With the injunction now lifted, employers who had previously removed the anti-discrimination notice from their handbooks should consider reinserting it.

Topics covered in today’s webinar:

• Handbook Policy Requirement for Reproductive Rights Discrimination Restored by Court
• January 2025 Litigation Update: New Year New Standard for What Constitutes an Adverse Action?
• Paid Family Leave Retaliation Claims: Understanding the Law and Process
