The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board to host a Paid Family Leave webinar for employers and HR professionals on Tuesday, January 14, 2025

Paid Family Leave [PFL] is employee-paid insurance that provides employees with job-protected, paid time off from work to bond with a new child, care for a family member with a serious health condition, or assist when a spouse, domestic partner, child, or parent is deployed abroad on active military service.

Since PFL began in 2018, benefits have been significantly enhanced to further improve the lives of working New Yorkers and their families, including more time off, more uses for PFL, and more financial security.

The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board [WCB] will host a free PFL webinar specifically for employers and HR professionals to share what’s new for 2025 on Tuesday, January 14, 2025; 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. The presentation will include information concerning the higher maximum weekly benefit amount and the updated employee contribution rate. This one-hour, online webinar session will also provide an overview of New York State’s landmark PFL benefit, including eligibility, and "how you take it". In addition, there will be time at the end of the webinar for questions.
