If passed SB 5316 becomes law, unemployed but qualified job applicants who can prove that their lack of current employment was the only reason for not being hired by a New York employer will finally have the legal standing and recourse to challenge genuine hiring bias against them.
This is a very stupid law. It will encourage any unemployed person who was not hired for a particular job to take that employer to court. Not wishing to be exposed to frivolous law suits or be told that they have to hire someone who is potentially less qualified than other applicants, employers might choose to not hire people at all. Another example of over reaching government regulation stifling business. Sounds like a payoff to the Trial Lawyer Unions.. The only winners will be the lawyers..
