NY Law Restricts Employer Access to Personal Social Media

A New York law, recently signed by Governor Kathy Hochul, will make it more difficult for employers across the state to access the social media accounts of employees and job applicants. It also makes it illegal for employers to punish employees who refuse to share that information with them. This is intended to protect employees from abusive practices that might otherwise allow employers to monitor employees’ private or protected conduct.

Discrimination at work can often manifest itself well before a job seeker has had the opportunity to even secure full- or part-time employment.

    I wish I had found him earlier. He is absolutely excellent, honest, kind and respectful. He is a man of honor and integrity. He's doing this to truly help people, especially the vulnerable and underrepresented. When other lawyers only see dollar signs, he doesn't. He sees you as a person, and cares about you and your rights. Set up a consultation with him and you won't regret it.

    Steven was incredibly responsive in my situation, providing deep expertise around employment law and negotiation tactics. Even during the after effects of a snowstorm, he rushed me his book and took numerous calls. He was generous with his time, fair and direct with his guidance, but still allowed for situational understanding and getting to know me. Even though I did not need to retain his full service beyond a consultation, he still let me fully maximize the time he agreed to share and gave me the confidence I needed to handle the situation despite a very complicated SaaS tech situation. I was happy to share back with him that, even though the odds were very slim, his support did end up leading to a slight improvement in my case which is of course better than nothing.

    If you're looking for someone who truly knows the law, how to negotiate, and will do his best to fight for you - even if that's telling you the cold truth about your chances and still giving you support anyway as you ask - you need to call Steven!

    There are very few employment lawyer specialists I have learned with many friends in law and there even fewer with his track record.

    Steven is simply phenomenal. From the moment I first tried to contact him through the consultation conclusion. I attempted reaching 5 other NYC-based employment attorneys and all others either didn't respond or had me bouncing between secretaries only to finally send me an intake form anyway. Steven not only responded immediately and in person, but was able to schedule me for a consultation the same day, which was critical given a deadline I had to meet. Our meeting took place punctually at the time scheduled, Steven helped me with my inquiry, explaining all the legal language and answering all my questions exhaustively. He was perfectly clear, thorough, respectful, honest, and patient. He generously sent me one of his bestselling books free of charge, and offered me a free 30 min follow-up consultation on account of our meeting not filling the hour (though it did run well over half hour and was the best price I could find anywhere to begin with). Simply outstanding. You will not easily find another attorney like this anywhere.

    I’m incredibly grateful for Steven’s help during a very stressful employment situation. From the start, he was kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring, and he explained everything clearly so I always felt informed and supported. Steven identified the key legal issues quickly and helped resolve my matter in less than 24 hours, which was such a relief during an otherwise overwhelming time. I truly appreciated his honesty, responsiveness, and calm, steady guidance throughout the process. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for thoughtful and effective employment law counsel.
    Alicia Shuster
    Steven is very knowledgeable, direct and efficient. I really appreciated that he was very direct about my prospects from the first discussion and he never wasted my time. If you’re looking for a straight-shooter that will focus on resolution with efficiency I highly recommend him.
