Each one-hour, online session will provide an overview of New York State?s landmark Paid Family Leave benefit, including important information regarding COVID-19, updates for 2021, and resources to help Employers and HR professionals share information with employees.

Paid Family Leave 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.  As of March 2020, Paid Family Leave may also be available in the event an employee, or their minor dependent child, is subject to a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation due to COVID-19.
