New York State Department of Labor Issues Whistleblower Law Notice
We recently reported in “New York State Expands Workplace Whistleblower Protections”1 that Section 740 of the New York Labor Law was amended effective January 26, 2022, to significantly expand protections for workplace whistleblowers outside of health care. Before the amendment, such whistleblowers were protected only if they disclosed activity that actually violated a law, rule or regulation and which presented a substantial and specific danger to the public health or safety.
