NYS Labor Department Update: Navigating the State Budget & Your Bottom Line
NYS Labor Department Update: Navigating the State Budget & Your Bottom Line
Friday, February 27, 2026 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (EST)
Description
Governor Hochul’s State of the State and FY2027 Executive Budget include significant shifts for New York’s workforce—but what do these proposals actually mean for your business operations and bottom line?
Join NYS Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon for a practical, employer-focused breakdown of the state’s latest labor initiatives. We will cut through the policy jargon to discuss how these state-level budget proposals directly impact employers, from unemployment tax relief to new state-funded talent pipelines.
Key topics include:
- Financial Impacts: How the state's repayment of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Trust Fund debt impacts employer surcharges and your operational costs.
- Tapping into State Talent: Leveraging expansions in the SUNY/CUNY Reconnect program and the Employer-Supported Child Care pilot to attract and retain workers in a tight labor market.
- The Regulatory Horizon: What the administration's continued focus on wage theft enforcement and labor protections means for your compliance checklist.
The session will be followed by a brief Q&A, offering you direct access to the Commissioner.
