The New York Paid Family Leave Benefits Law (PFL) is set to take effect January 1, 2018. It will provide eligible employees up to 12 weeks of paid family leave to (1) care for a family member with a serious health condition, (2) bond with a child during the first twelve months after the child’s birth, adoption, or placement in foster care, or (3) attend to a “qualifying exigency.” Leave will be funded through deductions taken from the pay of full-time and part-time employees.
