N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law § 229: Posting of notice and providing of notice of rights

§ 229. Posting of notice and providing of notice of rights. 1. Each

covered employer shall post and maintain in a conspicuous place or

places in and about the employer's place or places of business

typewritten or printed notices in form prescribed by the chair, stating

that the employer has provided for the payment of disability and family

leave benefits as required by this article. The chair may require any

covered employer to furnish a written statement at any time showing the

carrier insuring the payment of benefits under this article or the

manner in which such employer has complied with section two hundred

eleven of this article or any other provision of this article. Failure

for a period of ten days to furnish such written statement shall

constitute presumptive evidence that such employer has neglected or

failed in respect of any of the matters so required.

2. Whenever an employee of a covered employer who is eligible for

benefits under section two hundred four of this article shall be absent

from work due to a disability or to provide family leave as defined in

subdivision nine and subdivision fifteen respectively, of section two

hundred one of this article for more than seven consecutive days, the

employer shall provide the employee with a written statement of the

employee's rights under this article in a form prescribed by the chair.

The statement shall be provided to the employee within five business

days after the employee's seventh consecutive day of absence due to

disability or family leave or within five business days after the

employer has received notice that the employee's absence is due to

disability or family leave, whichever is later.
