Background
New York has enacted a PFL law, to be phased in beginning January 1, 2018, that will apply to employers of all business sizes. When the law is fully phased in over the next several years, employees will be eligible for 12 weeks of paid, job-protected leave when certain life events occur. During any period of family leave, employers are required to maintain any existing health benefits of eligible employees in force for the duration of such leave. Click here for additional details.
