Sure, go for it if you want to turn NYC into a ghost town. Cde. Wilhelm is bringing on the Detroitification.

he will limit them to 250 days a year or something

Job destruction guaranteed!!

And the King decreed.......

If its that important to humanity, why the five employee cutoff? “We could do four, sir, but that might impact economic activity.”

Typical Marxist Democrat. They’re “for the working man” except the guy working to keep his own business.

Goodbye New York.

[oblomov]

Why not all companies with at least one person? Require those sole proprietor cheapskates to pay themselves sick time!

[upchuck]

de Blasio is so far left, he’s coming around again.

Sit back and watch him hatch schemes designed to destroy what’s left of NYC.

[House Atreides]

Well, yet another reason for realistic business leaders to depart—before DeBlasio begins to charge an “exit tax”.

This is gonna go over like a fart in church.

NY has produced a TV commercial which entices businesses to move to NY by not having to pay taxes for ten years; something like that. But this policy weakens the incentive of the tax break imo.

[Noob1999]

No Problem!

All small businesses will become proprietorships, staffed with independent contractors.

The contractors are given a schedule to show up for work, and be paid for the hours that they worked.

No workers comp; no benefits; no sick pay; no vacations; no scheduled advancement; no social security; no tax withholdings.

Socialist Utopia!!

RE :”Under the current NYC law, businesses with 20 or more employees must provide five sick days.
The new law is expected to require that businesses with five or more employees provide the five sick days. …”

I like this.

This is a great test-tube experiment.

Do progressives (libs ) ideas work or not?

Great news,

Lets see how it compares to cities in Texas.

They will pine for the days of Herr Bloomberg after this latest nut gets through his term.

Here is what NYC can expect from this latest idiocy:

More small businesses will employ people “off the books”, paying them in cash for hours worked - no benefits & no taxes withheld.

Some employers will cut employee wages by 2% to cover the 5 days.

Some businesses will fire that 5th employee.

The result: the NYC economy will decline, welfare rolls will increase, as will property crime.

[napscoordinator]

5 sick days? That would be gone easily during flu season. I get 11 a year and it is just enough. You figure between annual physical, 2 dental exams, and various other medical situations and then bring the kids into it, five is horrible.

[AppyPappy]

5??? Why does Mayor De Wilhelm hate working families?
