Hello Adam, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. New York has specific labor laws that protect employees:
- Employers are required to follow safety standards and protocols, especially during the COVID-* pandemic.
- If an employer does not adhere to these guidelines, it can be considered a violation of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act).
