If you employ workers in New York, there's a new compliance deadline headed your way — and it's coming fast. On September 9, 2026, Governor Kathy Hochul signed Senate Bill S3460 into law, giving current and former employees a statewide right to request and review their personnel records. The law takes effect on November 8, 2026, which means employers have just weeks to get their houses in order. It applies to all public and private employers.
Modeled after Massachusetts's Personnel Record Law, the New York Legislature designed this law to "inspire an open and transparent dialogue" between employees and employers and give workers the chance to challenge and remove "knowingly false or defamatory statements from their records."
