NEW YORK PAID FAMILY LEAVE
Marc Altneu (marc@mcmagency.com ) is a local benefits advisor serving the Tri-State Region
Paid Family Leave (PFL) legislation begins in New York on January 1, 2018 as NYS joins California, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. Employees will be paid by a state fund and the maximum contribution will be set by the Superintendent of Financial Services. All employers in the private sector operating in New York State, regardless of the number of employees, must enact the Paid Family Leave benefit. Unless self-insured, employers must have DBL and PFL on the same policy.
