Businesses in New York may soon no longer be allowed to enter into so-called “no-poaching” agreements that prevent their workers from being recruited by other franchises within the same company during their employment.
State lawmakers in Albany are moving on legislation that would outlaw those agreements, which research has suggested limit the ability of individuals to seek better pay and advance their careers.
The legislation is geared toward preventing those contracts primarily among franchises, where they are often used to block employees from moving between different locations within the same company, thereby reducing turnover. It's sponsored by State Sen. Brad Hoylman, D-Manhattan, and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, D-Bronx.
