TIME OFF & RETALIATION
Does this sound familiar?
You don’t need to know the legal answer. Start with what happened at work.
Your pay was short
You took covered leave but did not receive the pay you expected.
You faced retaliation
Your hours, role, or employment changed after you requested time off.
NYC workers have protected time-off rights, including sick and safe time. Which rules apply depends on your employer, the reason for leave, and when the events happened. You do not need to diagnose the legal issue before contacting us.

What information should I keep?
Leave requests, attendance notices, and pay records may help. You do not need to share medical records in this form. You can start a conversation without having every document ready.
