Rozic Advocates for Flexible Work Arrangements

Comptroller Stringer report surveys of over 1,100 New Yorkers

80 percent support Paid Family Leave

Roughly one-third of shift workers report retaliation for requesting schedule changes

Flushing, NY – Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D,WF-Fresh Meadows) joined Comptroller Scott M. Stringer to advocate for workplace policies that would help working families balance work and personal responsibilities.

“When a significant portion of the workforce is made up of working parents, caregivers, and students who find themselves unable to achieve work-life balance, we must consider implementing flextime policies that reflect changing workforce dynamics. As the sponsor of ‘Right to Request’ legislation, I am proud to see us moving in a direction that recognizes the benefits of flexible working arrangements. I thank Comptroller Stringer for his leadership on this issue, and I call on my fellow State Legislators to pass this bill come January,” said Assemblywoman Nily Rozic.
