New York S00496 requires employers to inform employees that non-disclosure or non-disparagement clauses in employment contracts do not prevent them.

New York S00496 amends the labor law to mandate that employers inform their employees that any non-disclosure or non-disparagement provisions in their employment contracts do not restrict them from communicating with law enforcement, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the State Division of Human Rights, a local commission on human rights, or an attorney they have retained. This law aims to ensure employees are aware of their rights to report and discuss employment-related issues without fear of legal repercussions from their employers.
