Amendment to NYC Human Rights Law

Recently NYC amended their human rights law to read that all NYC companies must engage in
"cooperative dialogue" with employees who request reasonable accommodation for time off.
NYCHRL has long required accommodation by employers to employees for many reasons (religious, disability, health or other) where it doesn't create a undue hardship.The real change is the way it's done. You must engage in good faith, upon final determination a written final determination must be done. No longer may you just talk it out, talk it out and write it up. This goes into effect Oct 15, 2018
