NY's Paid Family Leave Program

By Sharon P. Stiller and Rachel Demarest Gold

Effective Jan. 1, 2018, New York State will have its own “Paid Family Leave Benefits Law.” On July 19, the state finalized regulations pursuant to the new law, which covers employers that have one or more employees for 30 or more days in a calendar year. Since the payroll deductions supporting the Law began July 1, 2017, it is not too early to begin reviewing your employer obligations.

The law covers all employees — including domestic and private — though their eligibility kicks in only if they are employed for 40 or more hours per week and on each of at least 30 days in the calendar year. While no employee may waive this coverage, ineligible employees must be given a waiver of benefits form as an option to avoid the payroll deduction.
