We were thrilled to team up with Working Mother Magazine today to chat about paid family leave in New York! If you missed it, don’t worry. You can check out the video any time on our Facebook page.
We answered some important questions about the law, like who’s covered, how much leave you can take, and how to apply. We also fielded live questions directly from working parents in New York about when parents become eligible for leave, how the law works with your employer’s policy, and what to do if your boss pressures you not to take leave.
For answers to these and other questions about the law, check out the video here and see our brand new Worker’s Guide to New York Paid Family Leave, which includes step-by-step instructions on how to apply, a detailed FAQ, and sample language for how to address conflicts that may arise.
A Better Balance is proud to have been a leading member of the coalition that fought for and won passage of New York’s groundbreaking paid family leave law. We continue to spread the word about the law and assist workers in using their rights every day.
