Paid Family Leave

Most private employers in New York State with one or more employees are required to obtain Paid Family Leave (PFL) insurance. PFL coverage will typically be added as a rider on your existing disability insurance policy.

PFL provides eligible employees job-protected, paid time off to bond with a newly born, adopted or fostered child; care for a family member with a serious health condition; or assist loved ones when a spouse, domestic partner, child or parent is deployed abroad on active military service.

Employees pay for these benefits through a small payroll deduction, which is a percentage of their wages up to a cap set annually.  Employers may choose to cover the cost themselves.

GTM Payroll Services can add PFL to your disability insurance policy and manage your employees’ payroll deductions.

Disability

Disability is a special section of the New York State workers’ compensation law, protecting workers from non-occupational injury or sickness by providing some compensation for lost wages. All employers in New York State who employ one or more employees on each of 30 days in a calendar year becomes a covered employer and must provide this coverage effective at the end of four consecutive weeks following the 30th day of employment until four weeks after termination. This is a benefit that protects workers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for non-work related accident or illness, including pregnancy.
