New York Paid Family Leave

At times, employees may need time off to care for a new child, a seriously ill family member or when a family member is called to active military service.

Eligibility

• All non-faculty who work 20 or more hours per week are eligible for NYPFL benefits after 26 or more consecutive weeks (6 months) of employment.
• Employees who work less than 20 hours per week become eligible after working 175 days.

Employees have the ability to waive the benefit if they do not meet the above requirements. The waiver form may be accessed directly at the New York State Paid Family Leave website. The form must be submitted to the Office of Human Resources.
