New rules in New York: retirement plans and unpaid sick leave
After much planning and delay, New York has finally launched its Secure Choice:
Starting March 18, 2026 employers with 30 or more employees will be required to either sponsor their own retirement plan or enroll in the state’s Secure Choice program, and smaller employers will have similar requirements on a phased-in schedule.
At the same time, New York City is launching an unpaid leave expansion of its existing Earned Safe and Sick Time Act for all employers starting February 22, 2026.
The rapidly approaching dates of these two major changes require New York employers’ immediate attention. Join Viventium’s veteran compliance expert, Yonina F. Shineweather, CPA for a not-to-be-missed workshop on the newest rules in New York.
You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of:
- How much should you withhold from each employee
- To where and how often must you deposit the contributions
- What the 30-day opt-out provision means to you and your employees
- When employees terminate, what happens to their Secure Choice account
- In what ways do NYC’s new unpaid leave rules differ from its paid leave rules
