Requiring successor employers of buildings to retain eligible employees for a transition employment period.

A Local Law to repeal section 22-505 of the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to displaced building service workers and to re-enact such section

This bill would amend a law from 2002, the Displaced Building Services Worker Protection Act, that provides for a transition period of 90-days when a building is sold, during which employees are retained, evaluated and if found satisfactory, offered continued employment. The amendments in this local law would add some titles to the types of employees covered (including security officers and fire safety director), change the definition of employer to include tenants and amends the law to include insourcing and amends the remedies available if there is a dispute, including adding liquidated damages and reinstatement.
