10 Things to Know About Using
Paid Family Leave
presented by
In 2016,
New York State passed a Paid Family Leave (PFL) law that provides partial income replacement and job protection while workers are on leave for covered reasons. Employees will be able to access New York paid family leave benefits beginning in January of 2018. Employers are required to purchase a PFL insurance policy or self-insure. The income replacement will be fully funded by mandatory employee payroll deductions that were permitted to begin on July 1, 2017.
Your employees may have many questions about how they can use this new benefit. Our friends at ShelterPoint have put together this handy list of 10 things your employees should know about using New York Paid Family Leave.
