The Ny law reads "An employer is not obliged to pay an employee for hours that he did not work, but in making a deduction from wages for lateness or absence, may deduct only the value of the time missed; the deduction of a penalty for lateness or absence is illegal. " So yes or no?

If you would have been normally paid for the hours, but you were sick instead, the pay for the hours you were supposed to work would be deducted.

The answer is yes. This means that the employer is allowed to deduct only the actual time missed from work and cannot add additional penalties for the total time of work missed. If you missed 8 hours and your make $7.80 an hour, then he/she can only deduct 8 hours at $7.80 an hour. If you have sick leave then you use the accumulated sick leave.

Though there are many employers who will not do it, yes they are allowed to deduct wages from you for being out sick, being late and even if you take too long for a break or lunch.
Usually, the employers who do this are the ones that don't give you the benefits of sick and personal days...you know, the ones who pay crappy salaries.

If they are paying you a salary, then they can deduct the amount they pay you per day. If you are paid hourly, then they are already "deducting" by not paying you for the time missed. They can't dock you additional money for sickness.

Does your contract grant you paid sick leave? If it doesn't, then it is legal.
