NEW YORK PAID FAMILY LEAVE LAW

Q: Under the new law, if an employee is on leave, must the employer hold open his/her job? Must the employer continue to provide health coverage to the employee on leave?

 A: The NY Paid Family Leave law requires covered employers to restore an employee who takes leave to the same or a comparable position without losing the benefits he or she would have accrued if he/she had not taken leave. Employers must continue providing health coverage as if the employee were not out on leave.
