25 Years After 9/11: Employer Obligations to Inform Affected Workers of Victim Compensation Funds

With the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, New York employers may want to note that state law requires practicable efforts to notify employees who worked near the World Trade Center towers during and after the attacks of their eligibility for two victim compensation funds.
