New York | Paid Prenatal Leave
Beginning January 1, 2025, employers will be required to provide employees with up to 20 hours of paid prenatal leave during any 52-week period, which can be used for healthcare services needed for, or related to, the employee’s pregnancy (for example, examinations, medical procedures, and testing). Employers must allow employees to take paid prenatal leave in increments as small as one hour. Unused leave doesn’t need to be paid out upon termination. The law is silent on whether employers may require documentation to support an employee’s need for leave, so unless the state of New York provides more clarity on this point, it is not recommended to require it.
Resourcing Edge will be following up to New York clients.
