Get Ready for Paid Family Leave


Effective January 1, 2018, New York State Paid Family Leave Program will provide New Yorkers job-protected, paid leave. Working families will no longer have to choose between caring for their loved ones and risking their economic security.



But how does this impact you as the employer?



This webinar will cover the new regulations for the Paid Family Leave law and how to prepare for it including:


  • which employers are covered, and employees are eligible for benefits; 

  • the differences between Paid Family Leave (PFL), Disability Benefits Law (DBL) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA); and 

  • what employers should do to get ready.
