New York legislature passes ghost job ad disclosure bill S8877, pending Hochul action by year-end
Key points
- S8877 would add section 219-b to the New York Labor Law
- Applies to employers with 100 or more employees and third-party job posting entities
- Disclosure content depends on whether the role will be filled within 90 days, later, or not immediately; the governor must act by year-end
The New York Assembly joined the Senate on June 2, 2026 to pass S8877, which would add section 219-b to the Labor Law. The bill would require mandatory disclosures in job ads by employers with 100 or more employees, or by third-party job posting entities. The required text would vary depending on whether the employer intends to fill the role within 90 days, later, or not immediately. Governor Hochul, who was re-elected, must act on the bill once it is sent to her, by year-end. For reference only; this is not legal advice.
What employers should do
- Monitor the progress of S8877 and assess job ad templates once the governor acts
- If enacted, review New York job ads and categorize roles by whether they will be filled within 90 days, later, or not at all
