NYC has enacted new legislation (Bill 814-A) that prohibits discrimination against the unemployed. This new legislation goes into effect on June 11, 2013 and protects those individuals “not having a job”, being available for work, and seeking employment.” 

  • Applies to employers with at least four employees in New York City
  • The legislation prohibits employers from discriminating against job applicants on the basis of employment status.
  • The legislation prohibits publishing an advertisement for any job vacancy that lists current employment as a requirement and/or qualification for the job, or that unemployed individuals will not be considered for employment.
