Reminder—An Individual’s Height and Weight Are Now Protected Characteristics Under The New York City Human Rights Act.  NYC now prohibits discrimination based on actual or perceived height and weight of employees and job applicants, with limited exceptions for situations where consideration of height or weight is (i) required by federal, state or law, (ii) material to performing the essential functions of the position, or (iii) reasonably necessary for the execution of the employer’s operations.  If not done already, review and update your antidiscrimination policies in light of these new requirements.

Employers in New York State are required to provide training to employees to ensure they understand both the Airborne Infectious Disease Exposure Prevention Standard and the Airborne Infectious Disease Exposure Prevention Plan.
