What it means for business

No direct duties for businesses identified. If enacted, the Department of Labor would pay benefits and could consider employer records on automation or AI when judging claims.

Key provisions

  1. Would add Labor Law article 25-D: the Department of Labor would run a program of temporary payments to eligible people who accept new employment at lower wages
  2. Eligibility requires separation from prior work in whole or substantial part due to automation or AI technologies, as determined by the commissioner, and applying within 60 days of starting the new job
  3. Benefit equals the gap between average weekly wage in the prior job (highest base-period quarter) and the new job; capped at 104 weeks and $10,000 total
  4. A claimant could not be denied solely because an employer failed to provide documentation about its automation or AI use
  5. Benefits would be subject to appropriation; claims and fraud penalties would follow unemployment insurance procedures
  6. Would take effect 180 days after becoming law
