New York has enacted a law requiring employers to provide employees with electronic access to their personnel records, marking a significant shift in workplace transparency. The measure aims to empower workers by allowing them to review and update their own employment-related documents, including payroll, benefits, and performance evaluations. Employers will now be obligated to maintain digital records and ensure employees can access them securely. The change reflects growing demands for greater accountability and control over personal work-related data.
