§ 296-d. Unlawful discriminatory practices relating to non-employees.

It shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice for an employer to

permit unlawful discrimination against non-employees in its workplace.

An employer may be held liable to a non-employee who is a contractor,

subcontractor, vendor, consultant or other person providing services

pursuant to a contract in the workplace or who is an employee of such

contractor, subcontractor, vendor, consultant or other person providing

services pursuant to a contract in the workplace, with respect to an

unlawful discriminatory practice, when the employer, its agents or

supervisors knew or should have known that such non-employee was

subjected to an unlawful discriminatory practice in the employer's

workplace, and the employer failed to take immediate and appropriate

corrective action. In reviewing such cases involving non-employees, the

extent of the employer's control and any other legal responsibility

which the employer may have with respect to the conduct of the person

who engaged in the unlawful discriminatory practice shall be considered.
