New York Stipulation In Lieu of Certification is a form of certification that is used in New York to replace the traditional certification process. It is a legal agreement between an employer and an employee that is used when an employer cannot provide a certification of the employee’s qualifications and/or experience. This stipulation allows employers to hire potential employees without having to go through the certification process. There are two types of New York Stipulation In Lieu of Certification: “In Lieu of Certification” and “In Lieu of Mandatory Certification.” The “In Lieu of Certification” stipulation is used when an employer is unable to provide a certification of the employee’s qualifications and/or experience, and the “In Lieu of Mandatory Certification” stipulation is used when an employer is unable to obtain the required certification from the appropriate regulatory agency. These stipulations are used to protect employers and employees by ensuring that the employee is qualified for the position they are hired for. It also allows an employer to provide job opportunities to individuals who may not be able to otherwise obtain certification from a regulatory agency.
