Drive-thru COVID-19 testing ‘YOUR LIFE IS AT RISK’ SEES ECONOMIC HOLE AMID center opens in New Rochelle LATIMER CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AS DEPARTMENT

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

drive-thru mobile testing center for COVID-19 opened on March 13 at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle.

The facility was the first of its kind in New York state and is available for use by all Westchester residents who call a special phone number and make an appointment.

Priority will be given to residents of New Rochelle since that city has been at the epi-

center of Westchester’s collection of COVID cases.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, speaking at the opening of the drive-thru center, said the phone number to call for test appointments is 888364-3056. He said people call, make an appointment, drive in and get tested while still in the car.

“You don’t expose anyone else. You go back home and they call you with the results,” Cuomo said.

A few hours later in Albany, Cuomo announced at a news conference that

the federal government had reversed its position and decided to allow the states to handle testing for the coronavirus if they choose to do so. Cuomo had previously been critical of the Trump administration for wanting to control testing even though its testing program has been largely inefficient and ineffective. Cuomo had repeatedly slammed the administration for not allowing New York state to control testing since the state’s health department routinely works with and licenses testing laboratories, at least one of which has the capacity for doing several thousand automated COVID tests each day.

Cuomo said after talking with Vice President Mike Pence on previous occasions and getting his pledges to look into the situation » CORONAVIRUS

STORES CLOSE, METRO-NORTH EMPTIES AND SMALL BUSINESSES HURT

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

“YOUR LIFE IS AT RISK,” WESTCHESTER COUNTY EXECUTIVE GEORGE LATIMER

warned young people who may try to continue their group socializing despite the tri-state closings of bars, restaurants, movie theaters, fitness centers and casinos in efforts to impose social distancing, keeping people separated by several feet, in the fight to combat COVID-19.

“When you’re 22, you believe you’re indestructible and you’ll live forever and you might very well live a very long period of time,” Latimer said. “But this disease can affect a young person and under some circumstances can take a young person’s life or they could carry the

disease back home and they could impact their grandfather or their grandmother or perhaps their parents and this is a moment where the natural desire to do whatever you want to do in the wonderful freedom that America gives us has to be leavened by a practical reality.”

Latimer was speaking on the steps of the County Office Building in White Plains at the March 16 signing of documents instituting a state of emergency in the county and ordering the closing of public and private schools.

A few hours earlier, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, Gov. Ned Lamont of Connecticut and Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey jointly had announced that mandated business closings » WESTCHESTER

ocial distancing, the process by which people are kept further apart than usual to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus first became part of the common lexicon when Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced the imposition of requirements for theaters, concert halls, houses of worship and any place in New York state that had an occupancy limit.

That came before the mandated closing of restaurants, bars, movie theaters, fitness centers and casinos. Originally, if a facility had a posted occupancy limit of up to 499 people, it could still operate but with the occupancy cut in half.

Gatherings of 500 or more people were prohibited.

Movie theaters along with live theaters and performing arts centers in Westchester either adapted to the new requirement or decided to cancel schedules. Those that continued operating with reduced capacity kept the seats on each side of a patron vacant.

Showcase Cinemas, owned by National Amusements in Auburn, Massachusetts, had advised the Business Journal that at its multiplex in the City Center in downtown White Plains the shows would go on and its staff would be cleaning seats, armrests, railings and other surfaces during extended intermissions between shows in addition to performing more frequent cleaning of other areas of the facility.

The Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville canceled all of its showings, as did the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Yonkers.

The Westchester Broadway Theatre, which for 45 years has presented a package of Broadwaycaliber shows and dinner at its facility in Elmsford, announced that it will remain closed at least through April 14.

The Performing Arts Center (PAC) at Purchase College also closed.

“We … canceled all ticketed public gatherings for the rest of the spring semester as most of our counterparts have done,” Seth Soloway, director of the PAC, told the Business Journal. “This takes us through the end of May. We’ll see where this goes.”

The PAC has four theaters,

The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College.

I think it’s going to be a widespread need to work together as a Westchester arts community to recover because it’s going to hit everybody, big and small.

– Seth Soloway

including the 1,372-seat concert hall; the 713-seat PepsiCo Theatre; a 552seat recital hall; and a flexible black box theater space that can seat up to 500.

Soloway is hoping that at the end of May they’ll be able to resume normal activity at the PAC. He said the center was having a highly successful season,

both artistically and economically. He expressed concern that not only would the PAC’s revenues be impacted, but so would the incomes of performing artists, talent agents and their staffs. He said those who had contracts to perform were cooperative when told that the PAC would have to close its doors.

He was optimistic that, over time, the PAC could make up for the loss of funds.

“I think it’s going to be a widespread need to work together as a Westchester arts community to recover because it’s going to hit everybody, big and small. I’m worried about my colleagues in smaller institutions. I’m worried about the artists and I’m worried about my agent colleagues,” he said.

At the 843-seat Tarrytown Music Hall, executive director Bjorn Olsson at first thought about the possibility of putting on shows but limiting the audience size to under 500 when that was still allowed, but realized it would not be a smart move. The theater is owned and operated by a nonprofit, The Friends of the Mozartina Musical Arts Conservatory.

He said the Music Hall has an educational department, which among other programs does a res-

idency in the Tarrytown schools.

With Westchester schools being closed, the organization was taking another hit.

“It actually makes it easier when it’s a government decree because it puts everyone on the same playing field,” Olsson told the Business Journal.

“There was obviously no time frame attached to the governor’s statement. It just says, ‘the foreseeable future.’ I can foresee a lot of future. Does that mean three or four weeks? Does that mean three or four months or a year? We don’t know,” Olsson said. “We pull in thousands of people for the Tarrytown downtown that has an amazing Main Street with a variety of restaurants and shops. The economic engine effect of cultural life as a whole is much bigger than people generally realize. This will hurt.

“Most of our revenue comes from our shows, so that’s the biggest piece of it. If this goes on we will likely try to reach out to our sponsors and supporters to see if they can help us make sure that there will be a Music Hall at the other end of it. It’s not just theaters.

It’s arts organizations in general. We all live on a pretty slim margin to begin with.”

Coronavirus Crisis ‘Fiscal stimulus will be temporary’

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he meltdown of the Dow Jones Industrial Average does not necessarily reflect the real world of the economy in the view of Sanford Ikeda, a professor of economics at SUNY Purchase.

“The economy is not a machine. It’s people and how they respond to different things, and what they see on the supply side and on the demand side is going to happen in the future,” Ikeda told the Business Journal. “The stock markets are volatile in the sense that you have people acting on expectations, which may or may not be justified by what really happens.”

Ikeda is the author of “Dynamics of the Mixed Economy: Toward a Theory of Interventionism.”

“What we’ve seen may be an overreaction but if you look at the objective reality you can see why people fear a contraction of the economy at least temporarily while this thing (the COVID-19 pandemic) is going on,” he said.

While Ikeda didn’t criticize President Donald Trump’s March 11 announcement of plans to distribute $50 billion in federal funds to the states and territories for use in fighting COVID-19, he did not feel that it will have a dramatic impact on the economy.

“At best that kind of fiscal stimulus will be temporary if it is targeted properly and who knows if it will or will not,” Ikeda said.

Far more important, he suggested, is the underlying strength of the American economy.

“It’s like a healthy patient, a healthy person who gets stabbed with a knife,” Ikeda said.

“Some kind of external shock happens. If he’s healthy the recovery will be relatively swift.

How long that takes I’m not going to say.”

Ikeda said the American economy has a strong advantage because it is decentralized and not under autocratic control.

Ikeda suggested that the long-term economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis in China and Italy may be more severe than what will happen in the U.S. because they have a more centralized response, are more inflexible in their markets and have had ailing economies.

“I can see if you need more masks, you’re going to need more Purell, toilet paper (and) that the best response will come from the private sector and they’re going to respond to opportunities,’ Ikeda said. “There’s no question that they see an opportunity to make

money here. That is a good thing in the sense that they are doing things that need to be done and they’re given an incentive to respond. The problem is if the government were to slap price controls on these products because they think they have been overcharging or there is regulation of other aspects of market adjustment. Then you’re going to see a problem.”

Ikeda acknowledged that some businesses are going to feel at least short-term pain, especially as social distancing and quarantine measures become more prevalent throughout the U.S. “No doubt there are going to be these effects down the supply chain as businesses contract. However … a healthy economy like the United States can recover from these external shocks,” Ikeda said.

Coronavirus Crisis Vanishing act

‘Betting on the end of the world has always been a bad bet’

TRUMP’S MARKET RALLY HAS DISAPPEARED

BY GLENN J. KALINOSKI gkalinoski@westfairinc.com

R

emember the good old days?

And, by that, I mean last month.

That was the time when there seemed to be no stopping equities markets from reaching new highs on a consistent basis.

We kept hearing repeatedly from President Donald Trump about low unemployment, the surging stock market and the overall great economy. People getting closer to retirement opened their 401(k) statements every month and saw that the news was all good.

But that was the good old days.

The coronavirus crisis and the oil war between Saudi Arabia and Russia have turned the world upside down.

Now we are in a new reality that has seen stocks plummet into a bear market (defined as a decline of 20% from its recent high), experts forecasting negative growth in the U.S. economy and even the mention of the word no American wants to hear — recession.

The political consequences for Trump in his November re-election bid are unclear.

If the number of coronavirus infections subsides and the risk is largely eliminated during the spring and if stocks recover, the crisis could become something of a nonevent for the election.

But if the crisis continues through the summer and beyond Labor Day, the election could be turned into a simple referendum on Trump’s management of the crisis. Democrat front-runner Joe Biden may just let the headlines do his campaigning for him.

Along with the potential political fallout, there is some simple math that is inescap-

able for Trump.

The 11-year bull market ended on March 11. According to a FactSet chart that appeared on cnbc.com, there had been a 351% bull market gain between March 19, 2009, and Feb. 12, 2020, in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

From that date to March 11, the bear market drop was 20.3%.

Also, there had been 10 declines of more than 700 points in the Dow as the market plummeted at the end of February and March.

But perhaps the most significant development is the fact that in early February the Dow moved past 29,500 as opposed to being near 18,000 when Trump was elected in 2016. A decline of more than 2,350 points on March 12 left the Dow hovering above 21,000. Then, on March 16, the Dow had its worst point decline ever, falling almost 3,000 points to 20,188.52.

That means the Trump rally has been essentially wiped out.

And it was reported that former Trump administration economist Kevin Hassett said the U.S. could shed up to 1 million jobs in March due to the enormous disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Restaurants and bars have closed.

Millions of Americans are working from home as evidenced by a reduction in mass transit use and highway traffic. Cruises and casinos have closed. Retailers are shutting down.

Hassett said, “the odds of a global recession are close to 100% right now.”

And, despite the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates to nearly zero, investors who just last month were dreaming of Dow30K are now wishing they could get to Dow20K.

People around the world can be seen wearing masks amid the coronavirus pandemic.

A

good friend of mine recently provided some insight that everyone should

hear.

“Betting on the end of the world has always been a bad bet,” he advised.

And it is with this in mind that we all should gain some perspective regarding the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting shutdown of so many things we take for granted every day in the U.S. The stock market rout and the shutdown of the sports Americans have enjoyed for a lifetime along with entertainment and cultural events is nothing compared to many of the crises we have faced in the past.

Approximately 3,000 Americans were murdered by terrorists on 9/11. Watching the Twin Towers fall while in my office in Lower Manhattan is something that never can be forgotten. But the neighborhood was rebuilt and today construction sites can be found all over New York City.

Regarding the equities markets, investors were shocked on Black Monday when stocks crashed on Oct. 19, 1987. The Dow

People on the streets of New York City following the 1929 stock market crash.

Jones Industrial Average fell 508 points. That might not seem like a major event given that the declines we’ve seen recently have included point drops measured in the thousands.

But after the crash of ’87, the Dow fell below 2,000 and remained there into the early weeks of 1988. The Oct. 19 drop amounted to 22.6%, the largest one-day percentage drop ever.

So, what happened over the next 33 years?

The Dow in 1995 broke through the 5,000 level and in 1999 it reached 10,000. In 2013, it exceeded 15,000 and in 2017 it touched 20,000. It came up just short of 30,000 last month after which the recent decline began as the market saw the end of the longest bull-market run in history.

And there are the memories I have as a child hearing stories from my grandparents

regarding their experiences as young adults living through The Great Depression and World War II. My grandfather told me of the long hours he had to work just to simply survive while being paid 52.8 cents per hour (and in case you were wondering, that number is not a typo). And there was my grandmother telling me that it was difficult to obtain items at the supermarket since U.S. production at the time was geared to fighting two enemies on opposite sides of the planet.

But when these years of hardship ended America was left as a military and economic superpower that was the envy of the world.

The 1950s saw construction start on the Interstate highway system and the 1960s ended with Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.

The point of this abbreviated history lesson is simple. We are in the middle of a crisis, but we should remember that America has a good track record of overcoming such challenges.

In the meantime, do everything you can to stay healthy and wash your hands!

would go into effect and they would continue to act in unity to impose regulations and restrictions recommended by health care and virus specialists. They said they expected to reach out to other states including Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Rhode Island to join the regional approach.

Lamont, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey and Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania announced that indoor portions of large retail shopping malls, amusement parks and bowling alleys in the four states were to close by 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 19.

TRAIN TROUBLE

Metro-North Railroad said its ridership has plummeted 90%.

In addition, ridership in the New York City subway system has declined about 60%. The city’s buses are down 49% and the Long Island Rail Road has declined 67%.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said it needs an immediate infusion of more than $4 billion from the federal government. It said it expects revenue losses at the current rate to continue for at least six months.

STAY AT HOME

On March 18, Cuomo announced that all New York businesses and government agencies will be required to have 50% of their workforce stay at home. He said food stores, pharmacies, shipping companies, media organizations and health care companies would be exempt from the requirement.

In addition, Cuomo said the U.S. Navy would send the hospital ship Comfort to New York. The vessel has about 1,000 beds.

Also, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said U.S. taxpayers needed to file their returns by the April 15 deadline. However, they could delay paying anything they owe for up to 90 days without penalty or interest.

EMPIRE CITY CLOSED

Cuomo initially said it was uncertain whether the mandatory closures can legally

be applied to Native American-owned casinos in New York but he hoped the tribes would do the responsible thing. Online betting will still be allowed.

Empire City Casino in Yonkers had voluntarily closed at 6 a.m. on March 14 until at least March 28, according to owner MGM Resorts International.

Yonkers Raceway, which is part of the casino complex, previously had closed after John Brennan, the Standardbred Owners Association of New York director representing horsemen at Yonkers, died of the coronavirus. Brennan, 69, was a resident of New Jersey. Yonkers Raceway asked all of its employees who worked in the immediate area to self-quarantine.

The Business Journal asked Latimer about the economic impact that shutdowns would have on businesses that serve schools and the public.

“We’re going to have a large economic hole to dig out of and it’s not just a Westchester

hole. It’s not just the businesses that I visit and patronize. It’s going to be all over the United States of America,” Latimer said. “And that would put us in a very tough economic situation and then it will be the federal government level to help us through this because no state, as powerful as New York is, has the power to pull us out of a recession, nor does the county government nor do the local governments nor does any one business. The largest corporation in America isn’t going to be able to single-handedly pull us out. It will take a response from the federal government.”

Latimer said the financial impact of the pandemic is beginning to unfold.

“I had plans to cut taxes a couple of years in a row and to balance things and now I don’t know how it’s going to turn out,” he told the Business Journal. “We don’t know how much revenue we’re going to lose from our revenue sources and we don’t know how much emergency money we’re going to have to spend. We hope we’re going to get some money from the state and federal governments but their budgets are going to be impacted. And, the people who pay the taxes, just like the people who go in the stores and buy the goods, they’re going to be pressed if they lose their job.”

Latimer shared some anecdotes about how local business already was feeling a pinch even before the closings were mandated.

“I was at a restaurant in New Rochelle, Posto 22, a terrific Italian restaurant in the heart of New Rochelle last Wednesday for a New Rochelle Rotary Club meeting and they talked about how many catered functions canceled,” he said. “A relative of a friend called me to ask me how long they thought this would last. His daughter has a wedding reception planned at a Westchester restaurant in May.”

Latimer said he suggested the event be moved to the fall.

“We’ve canceled seven St. Patrick’s Day parades all of which had an economic benefit,” Latimer said.

Among those attending the declaration of emergency event was Joseph Ricca, superintendent of the White Plains schools.

Ricca posted a message on his school system’s website that indicated the closing could last “most likely longer” than the expected two weeks.

Westchester County Commissioner of Health Sherlita Amler said, “When the schools close that doesn’t mean that kids should be out congregating with each other.

It means that we’re asking people not to congregate. It’s up to parents to ensure that their children are safe.”

She said the number of virus cases could dramatically rise if the containment steps are not taken.

Westchester County has been identifying sites that could be converted for health care use should local hospitals become overwhelmed with a high number of COVID-19 patients. Gov. Cuomo has urged President Donald Trump to assign teams from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to the creation of backup health care facilities. Latimer said Westchester has been looking at the Westchester County Center, the Doral Arrowwood Conference Center in Rye Brook and the former United Hospital site in Port Chester to see whether they could be used should the health care system become overwhelmed.

‘CRASH OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM’

“The anticipated wave of new cases threatens to crash our health care system and we need national action from the federal government to address the quickly evolving situation,” Cuomo said.

He said there were plenty of dorm rooms on SUNY campuses available, but does not have the construction capability to transform them into facilities suitable for hospital beds and patients. He said the federal government does have construction capabilities.

Cuomo said the facts do not warrant the “level of anxiety that is out there,” but it is important to have a plan and facilities to handle a worst-case scenario should that arise.

He also expressed concern about a projected shortage of medical supplies and equipment, such as ventilators, should there be an extreme number of COVID-19 cases.

Area hospitals have imposed restrictions on visitors. White Plains Hospital was no longer allowing visitors to enter the main hospital, Center for Cancer Care or for any on-campus outpatient procedures and appointments, including radiology and lab work, until further notice.

Nuvance Health announced that, with certain exceptions, no visitors were allowed at any of its hospitals or health facilities until further notice. There were exceptions, including: for active labor and delivery (one support person); pediatric, NICU and nursery (two

Coronavirus Crisis parents/guardians per patient per day); and extenuating circumstances, including endof-life care. They were to be screened for risk factors of COVID-19.

Westmed announced on March 17 the temporary closing of several sites in Westchester and Fairfield counties along with the postponement of elective procedures, and said it will reduce the overall volume of in-person visits at the offices that remained open.

CONSOLIDATION

CEO Anthony Viceroy said the practice is consolidating its staffing and resources into three main Westmed office locations with primary care services, including internal medicine, OB/GYN and pediatrics, at 3030 Westchester Ave. in Purchase; 1 Theall Road in Rye; and 1084 North Broadway in Yonkers at the Boyce Thompson Center.

Urgent care services will be available only at the Yonkers site, with patients asked to book ahead at the website westmedgroup.com/savemyspot.

Hudson Valley Restaurant Week was postponed until an undetermined date.

On March 18, the number of COVID-19 cases in the state almost doubled to 2,382 from 24 hours earlier. The number of cases in Westchester jumped to 538. In New York City, there were 1,339 cases. The number of cases in other counties included: • Nassau County, 183.

• Suffolk County, 116.

• Albany County, 36.

• Orange County, 32.

• Rockland County, 30.

• Dutchess County, 20.

The number of deaths in New York state had reached 20 on March 18.

JOB PROTECTION

Cuomo said his administration and the state Legislature were in agreement on a bill that would guarantee job protection and continued pay for some employees in New York who have been quarantined as a result of COVID-19.

The bill provides that employers with 10 or fewer employees must provide employees with unpaid sick leave and any paid family leave benefits the employee normally would be entitled to receive. If the employer had a gross revenue of more than $1 million in the previous tax year, the employees would be entitled to receive five days of paid sick leave to deal with the virus.

Employers with 11 to 99 employees would have to provide at least five days of paid sick leave and unpaid sick leave until the termination of any government-ordered quarantine.

Employers with 100 or more employees would be required to provide paid sick leave of 14 days.

Public employers such as the state, local government, school districts and public authorities would have to provide 14 days of paid leave.

Cuomo announced that the state has begun trying to recruit additional health care professionals to supplement personnel at hospitals.

Letters were being sent by the departments of health and education to former doctors, nurses and other health care professionals asking them to sign up to be called in to work should the need arise.

Cuomo directed the Greater New York Hospital Association and the Healthcare Association of New York State to work with Local 1199 of the Service Employees International Union on developing a plan to be sure health care will be available for hospital workers who might need it, especially if schools remain closed.

Cuomo characterized as a success the state’s first drive-thru testing site in New Rochelle.

He had a victory on March 12 when, after weeks of lobbying, the federal government approved allowing New York to handle its own COVID-19 testing, use private labs and introduce automated testing, which would allow one lab to perform thousands of tests a day instead of a relative handful. Cuomo got the go-ahead over the phone from President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, and the state shortly thereafter received official approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

but no action, he talked with both Pence and President Donald Trump on March 13 and got their approval for New York to handle its own COVID-19 testing.

Among those appearing with Cuomo at the opening of the drive-thru center was Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health. Northwell operates health care facilities in the Hudson Valley including Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, which on March 9 reported having a patient with COVID-19.

Northwell operates a large testing laboratory on Long Island.

Also on hand was Jon Cohen, executive chairman of the testing company BioReference.

That company will be running approximately 5,000 COVID tests per day for the state in addition to the tests it handles from the drive-thru center.

“We are going through a lot of inconvenience, but this is an issue that will be beaten.”

Dowling said.

Cuomo explained that there are six lanes available for cars at the drive-thru testing center. He said people should expect to spend about 15 minutes there. He said people remain in the vehicles and technicians use swabs to take mucus samples from the nose and back of the throat. The swabs then are packaged for transport to a laboratory.

“This facility can do about 200 cars per day, so depending on how many people who were in the car, that’s how many people you will serve,” Cuomo said.

Cuomo said a special focus will be on especially vulnerable populations including the elderly, people with underlying diseases and those with compromised immune systems.

“This facility is new and different. I understand that. But our job is to find new ways to respond to the situation,” Cuomo said. “Many people will be exposed to this virus. Many people have already been exposed to this virus, didn’t know it and have what they call self-resolved. They may have had mild symptoms (and) 80% of the people will self-resolve.”

Cuomo said the drive-thru testing facility at Glen Island Park would remain in place as long as necessary.

“This will not be over in 30 days. It will not be over in a matter of weeks,” Cuomo said.

When asked about that statement by a reporter at the afternoon news conference in Albany, Cuomo deferred to the state’s Health Commissioner Howard Zucker who said that such a timeline was thought to be possible based on the timelines of previous pandemics and what had been said by experts overseas regarding COVID-19.

Coronavirus Crisis Lawyers slam Cuomo’s prison-made hand sanitizer

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

L

ost in all the media coverage of the coronavirus pandemic was the criticism of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement that New York state will use prison labor to make hand sanitizer.

The harsh commentary came from inmates’ rights advocates, a nationally prominent congresswoman as well as private-sector entities that the governor accused of sanitizer price gouging.

During a press briefing, the governor announced the state is producing up to 100,000 gallons of hand sanitizer each week in 1.7-ounce, 7-ounce and gallon bottles.

Distribution of the hand sanitizer, which is branded “NYS Clean,” will be prioritized by the communities that have seen the greatest impacts and the highest risks related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The hand sanitizer is being produced by the state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision through its Corcraft correctional industries entity, which pays incarcerated workers an average of 65 cents an hour.

Cuomo said the state’s hand sanitizer has a “very nice floral bouquet scent” and challenged a leading consumer brand and two e-commerce sites over their efforts to provide hand sanitizers in the face of the epidemic.

“To Purell and Mr. Amazon and Mr. eBay, if you continue the price gouging, we will introduce our product, which is superior to your product,” Cuomo said. “And you don’t even have the floral bouquet, so stop price gouging.”

Cuomo’s accusation of price gouging was immediately refuted by the e-commerce sites he mentioned.

“Price gouging is a clear violation of our policies, unethical, and in some areas, illegal,” said an Amazon spokesperson in a press statement. “In addition to terminating these third-party accounts, we welcome, the opportunity to work directly with states attorneys general to prosecute bad actors.”

“We are making every effort to ensure that anyone who sells on our platform follows local laws and eBay policies,” added an eBay spokesperson in a separate press statement.

GOJO Industries, the parent company of the Purell brand, raised the question of the quality-control aspects of the new prison-based hand sanitizer production. Samantha Williams, GOJO’s corporate communications senior director, told MarketWatch that she assumed the state “will do what is needed to produce safe and effective product in a way that is fully compliant with all regulations and standards.”

The use of prison labor in creating the hand sanitizer also brought a sharp rebuke

U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley

from the Legal Aid Society. The New York Post reported the prison reform group sent out an email condemning Cuomo for “exploiting incarcerated New Yorkers to produce cheap hand sanitizers.”

“This is nothing less than slave labor and it must end,” said the email, authored

by Tina Luongo, attorney-in-charge of the Criminal Defense Practice, and Adriene Holder, attorney-in-charge of the Civil Practice at The Legal Aid Society. “From fighting dangerous forest fires to now mass-producing vital hand sanitizer, government and big business continue to force the labor of incarcerated individuals — for pennies on the dollar — for a political purpose or to line their own pockets.”

The email added that prisoners “work for less than a dollar a day under threat of punishment — including solitary confinement — if they refuse. Albany must pay these individuals the minimum wage and lawmakers must legislate to eradicate forced labor across our state for good.”

More criticism of Cuomo came from Scott Hechinger, a senior attorney for Brooklyn Defender Services, who noted on Twitter that the prisoners were forbidden from using the products they were creating.

“As of today people in NY jails & prisons are not allowed to use hand sanitizer,” he tweeted. “Alcohol content means it’s contraband. Can’t use it. Loved ones can’t send it.

But those same people incarcerated by NY are getting paid 65 cents per hour to manufacture it!”

Kumar Rao, senior counsel at the Center for Popular Democracy and a lecturer at Columbia Law School, took to Twitter to question the governor’s commitment to prison reform.

“Reminder that Gov. Cuomo could pardon or commute the sentences of thousands of the 50k people incarcerated in New York state to bring down the numbers of people in crowded, unhygienic jails and reduce the likelihood of a massive prison pandemic,” he tweeted.

The manufacturing source of the product also drew criticism from U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), a freshman legislator and member of “The Squad” quartet of progressive congresswomen.

“Considering that many incarcerated men & women are subjected to inhumane conditions, including no hand soap, & hand sanitizer is banned in most prisons, this is especially demeaning, ironic & exploitive,” Pressley wrote on Twitter.

In Court | Bill Heltzel Mount Kisco Diner files for bankruptcy over $1M in labor claims

Image via Mt. Kisco Diner website.

Mount Kisco Diner has filed for bankruptcy protection citing an inability to pay nearly $1 million to employees who accused the business of a “veritable smorgasbord of legal violations.”

Three Diamond Diner Corp., the corporate entity, filed a Chapter 11 reorganization petition March 10 in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains.

10

MARCH 23, 2020

WCBJ

The “immediate need for relief,” Photios “Frank” Georgiou stated in a court filing, was prompted by “severe cash flow difficulties stemming from the settlement of disputed labor claims.”

Frank Georgiou and co-owner Panayiota “Yiota” Georgiou of Yorktown Heights, and manager Charalambos “Harry” Georgiou of Rosyln, Long Island, simultaneously filed nearly identical Chapter 11 petitions that are being jointly administered with Three Diamond.

Mount Kisco Diner, formed in 1994 and operating at 252 Main St. in Mount Kisco, promotes itself as an “upscale casual restaurant.”

Last year, three former employees filed a class action lawsuit accusing the diner and the Georgious of violating the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law. Julissa Morales, a hostess, Aidee Geronimo-Romero, a waitress, and Ady Garcia, a busser, claimed that the Georgious failed to pay employees the minimum wage, required them to work long hours but denied overtime compensation, cheated them out of tips, falsified

records and created a hostile workplace.

Geronimo-Romero, for instance, said she worked six days a week, for 59 hours, and was paid a flat rate of $20 a day (about $2.03 an hour).

The employees are predominantly Hispanic, according to the lawsuit, and they were allegedly subjected to a barrage of insults that non-Hispanic employees did not incur.

They claimed they were called dirty pigs when they were compelled to work while ill, for example, lazy when they took breaks and incompetent “when their work was even slightly imperfect,” such as using two staples instead of one on a customer’s receipt.

When they complained about not getting tips, the lawsuit alleged, they were fired.

Garcia, for instance, claimed she protested a proposed policy whereby the Georgious would retain 8% of the tips for themselves.

Yiota Georgiou allegedly responded by calling her a nobody who was ungrateful for her job, and told her, “in this country, you don’t matter.”

The Georgious broadly denied the accusations in their answer to the complaint.

In December, the diner and the Georgious agreed to a $900,000 settlement with 11 employees.

The defendants denied the allegations

and admitted no wrongdoing, the settlement states. They also agreed to get training on “discrimination and responsible and compassionate policies.”

A bankruptcy filing states that Three Diamond “experienced cash flow difficulties … and has not been able to pay the settlement.”

The four bankruptcies each claim $50,000 or less in assets and up to $1 million in liabilities. They list $996,000 owed to employees, ranging from $24,000 to $104,000 and classify the debts as disputed.

The schedule of unsecured claims also includes unspecified amounts owed to the IRS and New York Department of Taxation and Finance.

Frank Georgiou estimated revenues of $580,000 during the first month of operations under bankruptcy, and $540,000 in expenses.

Their intention, according to the application for joint administration, is to reorganize the business and “pay the creditors over time.”

The diner and restaurateurs are represented by Manhattan attorneys Brian J. Hufnagle and Lawrence F. Morrison.

The workers were represented in their lawsuit by Maureen Hussain, Laura Revercomb and Robert McCreanor of the Worker Justice Center of New York in Kingston.

In Court | Bill Heltzel CARIBBEAN-BASED LOYAL BANK SUES MASTERCARD FOR $1.5M

A Caribbean bank is suing Mastercard for $1.5 million, claiming that the Purchase company improperly canceled a debit card license when the bank was indicted for money laundering.

Loyal Bank Limited, based in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, sued Mastercard International Inc. on March 11 in federal court in White Plains.

Despite its cooperation with the authorities and Mastercard, the complaint states, “Mastercard terminated Loyal Bank’s license in May 2018, thereby driving Loyal Bank straight into liquidation.”

Mastercard spokesman Seth Eisen responded that the company has just seen the filing and is reviewing it.

The electronic payment services company and the bank began working together in 1999, when Mastercard licensed Loyal Bank to issue cards under the Maestro brand. In 2007, Loyal Bank was authorized to issue branded debit cards using the Mastercard trademark.

In 2018, the U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn indicted Loyal Bank, Loyal Agency and Trust Corp., Adrian Baron and Linda Bullock on money laundering charges. An undercover agent had met with Baron and Bullock to set up bank accounts to hold money purportedly

derived from stock manipulation schemes.

Mastercard quickly terminated Loyal Bank’s license and seized $1,511,959 from an escrow account to satisfy the termination fee.

Loyal Bank argues that indictments do not allege that the bank was aware of criminal activity by Baron or Bullock, who are described only as “officers,” or that it condoned their behavior or engaged in any transactions with “real customers” that violated U.S. law.

Mastercard is not mentioned in the indictment.

“Therefore, the allegations in the indictments did not damage or threaten to damage the goodwill or reputation of Mastercard,” the Loyal Bank complaint states. “The unproven allegations against Loyal Bank contained in

the indictments did not provide a good faith basis for Mastercard to suspend the license agreement.”

But Baron and Bullock were not just any bank officers. Bullock was Loyal Bank’s CEO and previously the head of compliance, according to a superseding indictment. Baron, who worked from offices in Budapest, Hungary, and the Caribbean, was the bank’s chief business officer and previously the CEO. Both were directors of Loyal Agency.

The undercover agent’s meetings with Baron and Bullock were recorded. He allegedly told them that he needed to conceal, from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the IRS, his ownership of company stock.

The agent emphasized that he needed the bank’s debit card service, according to the superseding indictment, “to provide kickbacks to U.S.-based brokers as part of his stock manipulation deals.”

The agent bought six offshore companies from Loyal Agency and opened corporate accounts for each entity at Loyal Bank. Then the bank allegedly shipped 11 debit cards to another undercover agent in Belize who was posing as an associate of the lead agent.

Baron pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. He was fined $25,000 and

sentenced to time served for a period he spent in custody in Hungary before he was extradited.

His conviction was the first ever under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, a 2010 law that was enacted to prevent U.S. taxpayers from using foreign accounts to evade taxes.

Charges against Bullock, Loyal Bank and Loyal Agency are pending.

Loyal Bank is represented in the Mastercard lawsuit by Manhattan attorneys Michael Tremonte, Robert Knuts and Heather Y. Han.

WHITE PLAINS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY ‘DESTROYED,’ BUT WINS $1.4M JUDGMENT

A White Plains construction company has been awarded a $1.4 million court judgment against a Nevada loan broker that filed liens that led to the collapse of the company.

U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel awarded damages last month, from Blue Acquisition LLC of Las Vegas to Forthill Construction Corp. and Martin and Margaret McKernan of Stamford.

“The upshot of the defendant’s actions,” Forthill’s Manhattan attorney, William A Thomas, said in a recent letter to the court, “was to destroy, nearly overnight, a $13 million construction company.” » IN COURT

In Court | Bill Heltzel In Court—

In 2016, Forthill began negotiating with Blue for funds to shore up its cash flow and to finance growth. Forthill agreed to borrow $1.6 million and the McKernans agreed to a $300,000 promissory note, both contingent on closing the loan.

Before the deal was scheduled to close in 2017, Martin McKernan, Forthill’s president and sole owner, decided that the terms were “too onerous,” he states in a court filing. “And with the express blessing of Blue Acquisition’s principal (Robert Entler) we opted to look elsewhere for financing.”

Forthill borrowed $1.2 million from Dime Community Bank, and the McKernans personally guaranteed the loan.

Blue notified Forthill that it was in default on the proposed loan, claimed it was owed $300,000 under the promissory note and demanded a 5% stake in the company.

Then Blue filed a financing statement with the New York Secretary of State, asserting an interest in Forthill’s construction equipment and contracts.

Entler filed a claim on the McKernans’ Stamford property. Blue also sent letters and lien notices to six general contractors for whom Forthill was working on major proj-

ects. Payments that the general contractors owed to Forthill, the letters stated, should be sent to Blue instead.

Some of the general contractors withheld payments to Forthill.

Forthill was unable to meet its weekly payroll, cover its monthly insurance, pay suppliers and make loan payments to Dime. Employees were laid off. Projects were delayed. Forthill was unable to win bids on new projects.

“The upshot,” McKernan said in a court declaration, “was a snowballing breakdown in Forthill’s relationship with all its clients, as well as with its workforce and vendors, ultimately leading to the effective collapse of the company.”

Dime sued Forthill and the McKernans and won a judgment.

They sued Blue, arguing that the financing statement was illegal because the loan was never finalized.

Seibel ruled last year that Blue’s liens against Forthill and the McKernans were invalid. She voided the financing statement and ordered an inquest on the damages.

Magistrate Judge Lisa M. Smith recommended that Blue pay Forthill and the McKernans $1,435,326, the amount they owed Dime Bank. She rejected their claims for losses of $525,000 in future corporate profits and $875,000 in Martin McKernan’s

WHITE PLAINS ATTORNEY SUES RIVAL LAWYERS FOR $30M IN ‘AMBULANCE CHASING’ SCHEME

A White Plains personal injury attorney is suing a rival law firm and four of its employees for $30 million for “ambulance chasing” in an alleged scheme to steal clients.

The Law Offices of Lawrence Perry Biondi PC sued Manhattan firm Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro & Halperin LLP on March 3 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Wingate employees “orchestrated (a) conspiracy to illegally solicit and steal present clients from Biondi,” the complaint states, “and in the process tarnish Biondi’s stellar professional reputation.”

“We are aware that a disgruntled attorney is recycling false allegations that were conclusively refuted years ago,” Wingate partner Bryce Moses said in an email. “We look forward to being vindicated quickly in court.”

The Wingate defendants include partner Clifford Shapiro, associates Eric L. Horn and Carmine Goncalves, and employee Anteorkidia Horn.

Beginning in September 2017, the complaint states, Wingate used high-pressure

tactics to entice Biondi clients into retaining Wingate lawyers instead. Around May 2018, Biondi began receiving substitution letters from Wingate stating that Biondi’s clients wanted to switch to Wingate’s lawyers.

Wingate promised financial incentives to Biondi clients, according to the complaint, and told them that Biondi is a thief, lies about the status of their cases and the potential recoveries, steals from clients and is too ill-equipped or incompetent to handle cases.

When clients agreed to the switch, Biondi alleges, Wingate gave them cash, promised to pay off loans they had taken out, or refinanced the loans at a higher interest rate through a Wingate affiliate.

The complaint identifies 13 “high-value cases” where his clients switched to Wingate lawyers. Biondi claims that Wingate is still stealing clients.

Biondi accuses Wingate of contract interference, violation of New York’s Judiciary Law, defamation, unfair competition, conspiracy and racketeering. The complaint demands $30 million on each charge and treble damages on the racketeering charge.

Neither Lawrence Biondi nor the three lawyers he accused of wrongdoing have a public record of discipline, according to the New York State Unified Court System attorney records.

In Court | Bill Heltzel HARTSDALE MAN SUES PARTNER’S HEIRS IN BRONX MOTEL DISPUTE

The death of a longtime business partner and friend has led to a deadlock with the heirs of a small Bronx motel.

Mitchell Suss of Hartsdale petitioned Westchester Supreme Court on March 2 to dissolve Bronx Park Motel Corp.

He accused Edward J. Walsh Jr. of Mahopac, Christopher Walsh of Katonah and Tracy Walsh of Yorktown Heights of “nothing short of a hostile takeover.”

They are the children of Eddie Walsh, Suss’ partner and co-equal owner for 25 years.

Bronx Park Motel — rated one star out of five by Yelp — is a 46-room lodge on Crotona Avenue at Fordham Road, adjacent to the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden and near the Italian markets of Arthur Avenue.

Forty-four years ago, Suss began working at the motel as a night clerk. He met Eddie — Edward Joseph Walsh — in the early 1980s when Walsh was a New York City police officer assigned to patrol the neighborhood.

They became good friends, according to the petition, and in 1990, when the motel owner became ill, they acquired a half interest in the business. Suss claims he enabled Eddie to participate in the deal by arranging a $100,000 interest-free loan.

In 1994, they bought the other half of the business. They each owned 50% of the stock.

Suss served as president and Eddie as the corporate secretary, the petition states, and they managed the motel collaboratively.

In 2018, Bronx Park Motel had revenues of nearly $2.6 million.

The business got $210,000 a month from the Neighborhood Association for InterCultural Affairs to provide housing for the homeless, and took in cash from renting 12 rooms that were not part of the contract.

Eddie died last year and his half of the business went to his children.

Almost immediately, the petition states, Suss’ relationship with the children deteriorated.

He claims that the corporate records and checkbook were removed from the motel office, without his consent. The heirs allegedly blocked a plan to refinance a high-interest mortgage, delayed signing a new contract for homeless services and delayed depositing $204,000, causing checks to bounce and jeopardizing the payroll. Cash transactions of about $7,000 to $8,000 a month are allegedly unaccounted for.

Suss claims their actions were tactics to deprive him of his share of the distributions and to pressure him into selling or ceding control of the business.

“Dissension and acrimony,” the petition states, “have made it impossible for the parties to agree on a strategy for operating the business.”

There is no possibility of electing a new board of directors, according to the petition, and no mechanism for breaking the deadlock.

The factional bitterness is so great, the petition states, “that dissolution would be beneficial to the shareholders.”

Suss is asking the court to appoint a receiver to run the motel and wind down operations. He also accuses the heirs of diverting cash. He is demanding an accounting of the motel’s finances.

A motel clerk said in a brief telephone conversation that the Walshes were not available to discuss their side of the story.

Suss is represented by White Plains attorney Peter S. Dawson.

Tee time on hold

T

hey had no way of knowing that about a month after the grand opening on Feb. 22 at The Westchester in White Plains the mall itself would be ordered closed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But everyone was upbeat and patrons were enjoying the five virtual golfing bays, craft beers, wines and soft drinks and browsing through the golf merchandise that was for sale at Golf Lounge 18.

Increased competition from the internet had been encouraging some shopping mall operators to welcome experiential retail and entertainment attractions to their properties. Simon Property Group Inc., which owns the 810,000-square-foot enclosed shopping center set on 12 acres, had previously pointed to The Westchester as having "experiential venues." It also has said “Simon is reinventing the shopping experience,” and stated, “The Westchester represents the perfect union of classical elegance and future trends.”

Golf Lounge 18 can be a planned destination for people either individually or in a group or it can be a place to drop into and take a break from shopping.

Golf Lounge 18 first teed off in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 2018. Last year, founders Ajay Gautam, Ajit Padda and Purnedu Kagtada opened their second location in Orange, Connecticut.

Gautam told the Business Journal that he thinks what they're doing can help support shopping centers wishing to offer more than just merchandise retailing in order to remain viable destinations in the internet age.

“I feel it changes the dynamics of that,” he said.

“I'm a golfer. I love to be more on a golf course than in a shopping mall and believe me, being convinced to bring it into the shopping mall was one of the biggest decisions but I think we got it right.”

Some individuals and

small groups of friends had made reservations to use the virtual golfing bays on opening day as a result of preopening promotion and there was steady foot traffic throughout the Business Journal's visit to the facility.

“On day one we saw a lot of families in here.

WCBJ

They hanged out, had some good times, played for an hour, went for shopping,” Gautam said.

According to Golf Lounge 18's relationship manager Paul Wilson, Gautam, Padda and Kagtada were golfing buddies and “were frustrated that courses close at the

end of October. They saw an opportunity in Fairfield.

With great community support in Fairfield, they saw an opportunity to expand.”

The bays at Golf Lounge 18 use video projectors to present images of whatever golf course and hole the player has selected. Computers

running TrackMan software create the images the golfer sees based on data and images that have been preloaded. The TrackMan system uses radar and optics to detect the movement of the golf club, its impact with the ball and the flight of the ball. After its impact with the screen at the front of the bay, the software calculates where the ball would have landed on the real course.

Players are shown a moving image of what it looks like in-flight as the ball traveled to its destination.

Included among the household-name courses replicated by the software are: the PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; the Royal Portrush Golf Club in County Antrim, Northern Ireland; and St. Andrews Links in Scotland, the birthplace of golf.

Drones were used to map the courses and collect

images.

“It’s the most accurate way to simulate the golf experience, the most realistic simulator on the market,” Wilson said.

Golf Lounge 18 has memberships, leagues and tournaments. Bays can also be rented by the hour.

“You can play golf all year and you can practice and get all of the dimensions of what your swing is like,” Gautam said.

He said private instruction is available. The head of instruction is John Humphries, who won the 100th Louisiana Amateur Championship last July.

“We definitely have plans to look into expansion in 2020 to take it to the next level,” Gautam said.

At press time it was not clear exactly when malls ordered closed by the state would be allowed to open their doors again.

odell’s Sporting Goods, a family-owned retailer with approximately 115 stores in operation and an estimated 3,600 employees, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 11.

At one time the chain had 153 stores. The company had been attempting to avoid a bankruptcy filing and took steps such as previously closing some of its stores and seeking outside investors.

The filing was made in a federal court in New Jersey by the law firm Cole Schotz P.C. Documents were signed by Mitchell B. Modell, the company’s president and CEO, along with a company director Bernard A. Katz.

According to Modell’s store directory, it was operating stores at 843 Pelham Parkway in Pelham Manor and in New Roc City at 29 LeCount Place in New Rochelle.

Connecticut stores on the list included 2113 Summer St. in the Ridgeway Shopping Center in Stamford, 148 Boston Post Road in Bridgeport, 1397 Boston Post Road in Milford and 3067 Berlin Turnpike in Newington.

Modell’s stores have been in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

“This certainly is not the outcome I wanted, and it is one of the most difficult days of my life,” Modell said. “But I believe liquidation provides the greatest recovery for our creditors. We have partnered with Tiger Capital Group to liquidate the remaining stores.”

Modell said the return from Tiger having previously liquidated 19 stores was “beyond spectacular.”

The company said online sales would continue during the process of closing its brick-and-mortar operations.

The bankruptcy filing involved about a dozen entities related to the chain’s operations. It showed liabilities of approximately $288 million and assets of approximately $220 million. It said there are approximately 11,000 creditors and parties-in-interest, including current and former employees.

A list of creditors showed Adidas had an unsecured claim of $8.9 million, Nike had a claim of $8.7 million and Under Armour had a claim of $3.7 million.

The business was started in 1889 by Morris A. Modell. The fourth generation of the Modell family now operates it. The corporate headquarters are in Manhattan.

In a YouTube video posted on Feb. 21, Mitchell Modell explained that Morris, his great-grandfather, was from Russia and had a pushcart on Cortlandt Street in downtown New York.

“He was there peddling hats, gloves, shirts, everything,” Modell said. He said the

fifth generation of the family was in the wings ready to enter the business.

Modell said when a newspaper article appeared last year about the company’s financial position, some of his suppliers stopped shipping and he found it difficult to get credit.

“I received $35 million less in receipts and dropped $50 million in sales,” Modell said. “On top of a warm winter, on top of no snow, on top of lousy teams (the stores sell team-branded merchandise) led us into a liquidity crisis in January. This is unlike last year when an article turned us upside down.

This is now, my back’s to the wall and I gotta figure out what am I gonna do.”

Modell explained that he had approached his landlords and vendors and asked them to work with the company and also approached outside strategic investors.

“For literally millions of families, it’s meant affordable, quality sporting goods for decades. People love our brand. It’s not a tarnished brand,” Modell said of the company.

Modell’s has faced competition from Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sports Authority in addition to retailers such as Target, Kohl’s and Walmart.

Coronavirus Crisis

CONTRIBUTING WRITER | By Jack Malley

What penalties can employers suffer for denying coronavirus-based paid sick leave requests?

M

any of our clients have been consulting us regarding paid leave requests they anticipate related to the coronavirus pandemic. Employers should be aware of the penalties for an unlawful denial of such requests under paid sick leave laws enacted by Westchester County. The penalties include fines, back pay, job reinstatement and the payment of the employee’s attorneys’ fees. In the current environment, an employer’s unlawful denial of a coronavirus-based paid leave request would likely be met with palpable disdain by Westchester County agencies.

In 2019, Westchester County passed the Earned Sick Leave Law and separately passed the Safe Time Leave Law. In 2018, New York City amended its Earned Sick Time Act to provide for safe time off needed by employees, and amended the title of the law to the Earned Safe and Sick Time Act. The primary purpose of these sick leave laws is to provide employees up to five days of leave to seek medical treatment for themselves or to address medical treatment needed by family members. The primary purpose of the safe leave laws is to provide up to five days of leave for employees who are victims of domestic violence and human trafficking in order to attend criminal and civil court proceedings and/or relocate to a safe location needed in those circumstances. Under these laws, employers who employ five or more employees are required to provide paid leave and employers who employ less than five employees are required to provide unpaid leave.

The Westchester and New York City laws bar an employer from conditioning

MARCH 23, 2020

an employee’s use of earned sick or safe time on the employee securing a substitute worker to cover the work during the employee’s absence.

Westchester County requires the employer to notify employees when they are hired of the safe/ sick leave laws by providing a copy of them and written notice of how the laws apply to the employee.

Westchester County employers must also display a copy of the laws in a conspicuous location accessible to employees.

Similarly, New York City requires employers to provide new employees with written notice of the right to safe/sick time, including the accrual and use of such time, the calendar year of the employer, the right to be free from retaliation and the right to file a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs if the leave rights are not provided. New York City allows the employer to provide this notice

WCBJ

by conspicuously posting the information in an area accessible to employees.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY PENALTIES

Under the Westchester County laws, employers who willfully fail to provide the required Notice of Leave Rights are subject to a civil fine in an amount not to exceed $500 for each separate offense. Employees who may be aggrieved can file a complaint with the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) that will initially try to resolve the dispute. If that effort is unsuccessful, the DCP will hold a hearing and can issue penalties including: • Requiring the employer to pay the employee three times the wages that should have been paid or $250, whichever is greater, for each instance of sick time taken by an employee but unlawfully not compensated by the employer.

• Requiring the employer to

pay the employee $500 for each instance of sick time requested by an employee but unlawfully denied by the employer and not taken by the employee, or unlawfully conditioned upon searching for or finding another employee to work.

• Granting such additional relief, as it deems appropriate, such as the full amount of any unpaid earned sick time plus any actual damages suffered as a result of the employer’s violation of the law, reasonable attorneys’ fees, cost of the administrative hearing and other monetary or equitable relief as may be appropriate, including reinstatement to employment and back pay.

NEW YORK CITY PENALTIES

Under New York City’s laws, employers who fail to provide the required Notice of Leave Rights are subject to a civil fine in an amount of $50 for

each separate offense. If an employee files a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), the DCA will investigate and attempt to mediate a settlement. If as a result of the investigation the DCA believes there has been a violation, it can impose penalties, parts of which are identical to those that Westchester can impose, including: • For each instance of sick time taken by an employee but unlawfully not compensated by the employer, three times the wages that should have been paid under this chapter or $250, whichever is greater.

• For each instance of sick time requested by an employee but unlawfully denied by the employer and not taken by the employee or unlawfully conditioned upon searching for or finding a replacement worker, or for each instance an employer requires an employee to work additional hours without the mutual consent of such employer and employee to make up for the original hours during which such employee is absent, $500.

• For each instance of unlawful retaliation not including discharge from employment, full compensation, including wages and benefits lost, $500 and equitable relief as appropriate.

• For each instance of unlawful discharge from employment, full compensation, including wages and benefits lost, $2,500 and equitable relief, including reinstatement.

Any person or entity found to be in violation of the New York City safe/sick leave law shall be liable for a civil penalty payable to New York City not to exceed $500 for the first violation and, for subsequent violations

that occur within two years of any previous violation, not to exceed $750 for the second violation and not to exceed $1,000 for each succeeding violation.

New York City passed its paid sick leave law in 2014.

According to a December 2019 DCA press release, as of that date, New York City had received more than 2,000 complaints regarding safe/sick leave and collected nearly $11.5 million in combined fines and restitution for more than 35,300 workers.

Two of New York City’s more notable prosecutions were against Starbucks Corp. and Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. Starbucks violated New York City’s safe/sick leave law by a policy that required employees to find a substitute worker to qualify for sick leave, and face corrective action including termination if they could not find one.

By a settlement agreement that went into effect on Dec. 19, 2019, Starbucks paid $26,000 to be distributed to workers previously identified as being damaged by the unlawful policy and established a $150,000 fund to compensate other claimants.

Last month, after the city found that Chipotle had fired an employee for using sick leave, Chipotle agreed to pay the employee $2,500 and rehire her.

The New York City and Westchester County safe/sick leave laws have teeth and employers can suffer material consequences if they fail to comply with them, including with respect to a coronavirus-based claim.

There are exceptions to these rules that are not addressed here, most significantly with respect to domestic workers.

Claiming an elderly dependent on your tax filing

re you taking care of an elderly parent or relative?

Whether it’s driving to doctor appointments, paying for nursing home care or medical expenses, or handling their personal finances, dealing with an elderly parent or relative can be emotionally and financially draining, especially when you are taking care of your own family as well.

Fortunately, there is some good news. You may be able to claim your elderly relative as a dependent at tax time, as long as you meet certain criteria.

Here’s what you should know:

WHO QUALIFIES AS A DEPENDENT?

The IRS defines a dependent as a qualifying child or relative. A qualifying relative can be your mother, father, grandparent, stepmother,

stepfather, mother-in-law or father-in-law, for example, and can be any age.

There are four tests that must be met in order for a person to be your qualifying relative, including not a qualifying child test; member of household or relationship test; gross income test; and support test.

NOT A QUALIFYING CHILD

Your parent (or relative) cannot be claimed as a qualifying child on anyone else’s tax return.

RESIDENCY

He or she must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national or a resident of Canada or Mexico. However, a parent or relative doesn’t have to live with you in order to qualify as a dependent.

If your qualifying parent or relative does live with you, you may be able to deduct a percentage of your mortgage, utilities and other

expenses when you figure out the amount of money you contribute to his or her support.

You must provide more than half of a parent’s total support for the year such as costs for food, housing, medical care, transportation and other necessities.

dent care credit if you paid work-related expenses for the care of a qualifying individual. The credit is generally a percentage of the amount of work-related expenses you paid to a care provider for the care of a qualifying individual.

The percentage depends on your adjusted gross income.

Work-related expenses qualifying for the credit are those paid for the care of a qualifying individual to enable you to work or actively look for work.

Also, expenses you paid for the care of a disabled dependent may also qualify for a medical deduction. If this is the case, you must choose to take either the itemized deduction or the dependent care credit. You cannot take both.

CLAIMING THE DEPENDENT CARE CREDIT

CLAIMING THE MEDICAL DEDUCTION

INCOME

To qualify as a dependent, income cannot exceed the personal exemption amount, which in 2019 was $4,200 ($4,300 in 2020). In addition, your parent or relative, if married, cannot file a joint tax return with his or her spouse unless that joint return is filed only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid.

SUPPORT

You may be able to claim the child and depen-

If you claim the deduction for medical expenses,

you still must provide more than half your parent’s support. However, your parent doesn’t have to meet the income test.

The deduction is limited to medical expenses that exceed 7.5% and you can include your own unreimbursed medical expenses when calculating the total amount. Any medical expenses you paid on behalf of your parent are counted toward the 7.5% figure. Food or other amenities, however, are not considered medical expenses.

WHAT IF YOU SHARE CAREGIVING RESPONSIBILITIES?

If you share caregiving responsibilities with a sibling or other relative, only one of you — the one proving more than 50% of the support — can claim the dependent. Be sure to discuss who is going to claim the dependent in advance

WCBJ

to avoid running into trouble with the IRS if both of you claim the dependent on your respective tax returns.

Sometimes neither caregiver pays more than 50%. In that case, you’ll need to fill out IRS Form 2120, Multiple Support Declaration, as long as you and your sibling both provide at least 10% of the support toward taking care of your parent.

This column is not intended as advice. Tax rules for claiming an elderly parent or relative as a dependent are complex so consider seeking the advice of a tax professional.
