Editor's Note Stress and Distress at Work When employees develop mental health issues at work, the law gets weird. In New York, California, and I assume most other states, when an employee is injured at work, workers' compensation is their exclusive remedy. That means they can't bring a civil lawsuit against the employer and their claim is determined by the state's workers' compensation appeals board.
On December 6, 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul signed new legislation, S.6635/A.5745, to support employees facing job-related mental health issues. The law, which went into effect on January 1, 2025, will allow any employee to file for workers' compensation for specific types of mental health injuries based on extraordinary work-related stress.
