Women: Know Your Workplace Rights

Friday, March 8

10-11 a.m.

In honor of Women’s History Month, Macedon Public Library has teamed up with the NYS Workforce Development office to provide a presentation on FARE (fostering access, rights and equity) in the workplace. This is geared toward working women, but men are also invited to attend.

In this presentation, Stacey Salgado of the NYS Department of Labor will talk about employment rights and benefits in New York State. In addition to general “know your rights” information, we will highlight the current state of the gender wage gap, salary history ban and pay equity laws, NYS paid family leave, and new regulations about pay transparency and rights for nursing mothers in the workplace.

You will learn about current and upcoming labor laws in NYS and where to turn if you are faced with labor law violations. Empower yourself with knowledge and resources!

There will be time for questions after Stacey’s presentation, and we’ll be serving coffee and donuts throughout. This presentation is free, and open to the public. All are welcome!
