How Will New NYS and Federal Paid Sick and Family Leave Laws Interact?

On December 15, the NYC Council made it mandatory for all employers with four or more employees to provide minimum and maximum salaries on all job postings, effective April 14, 2022.

Chamber of Mothers is a newly formed group by moms and for moms, currently focusing on advocating for federal paid leave.

On Monday, November 1, Governor Kathy Hochul signed a law providing Paid Family Leave to individuals caring for siblings. New York already has one of the nation’s most extensive family leave programs, providing employees leave to bond with a new child, to provide care for a relative, or to provide care when a spouse, child, parent, or domestic partner are called into active military duty. The inclusion of siblings under relative coverage goes even further to protecting family’s time off when the need arises.
