A sweeping New York law that triples the statute of limitations for filing complaints of workplace discrimination—to three years—took effect on Thursday, 90 days after Gov. Kathy Hochul signed it into law.
“It does, potentially, significantly, increase the risk to employers because now, instead of having one year, employees have three years to bring these claims,” said Michael Morea, founder and managing member of Morea Law, which has an office on Broadway in Manhattan, and whose main office is Ridgewood, New Jersey.
