In 2016, Governor Cuomo signed into law the nation’s strongest and most comprehensive Paid Family Leave policy. Starting January 1, 2018, the New York State Paid Family Leave Program will provide New Yorkers job-protected, paid leave to bond with a new child, care for a loved one with a serious health condition or to help relieve family pressures when someone is called to active military service.

More information about family paid leave, whether you are an employer, health care provider, or an employee, can be found on the New York State government website or by calling the Paid Family Leave Helpline at 844-337-6303.
