Private employers across New York are gearing up to implement the state’s new Paid Family Leave law on Jan. 1, 2018.

Paid Family Leave allows employees to take time off for the birth or adoption of a child, to care for a close relative with a serious medical condition or to raise a family while a spouse is deployed for active military service. Employees receive a percentage of their average weekly wage, but limited to an equal percentage of the state’s average weekly wage. They also maintain their health insurance benefits, and they are assured of reinstatement when their leave ends.
