2023 Paid Family Leave
New York State Paid Family Leave (“PFL”) premium decrease: Effective January 1, 2023, eligible employees are required by state law to have PFL premiums deducted from their paycheck.
· The premium will be reduced from .511% to .455% of weekly wage capped at New York’s average weekly wage, which will be $1,688.19 per week. The maximum deduction will be $15.36 biweekly ($399.43 per year).
· Siblings, including biological, adopted, step, and half, has been added to the definition of family member.
As a reminder, eligible employees can receive Paid Family Leave benefits through New York’s disability benefit law. PFL provides eligible employees with job protection and partial wage replacement for the following:
· Bonding with a child during the first 12 months after the birth, adoption, or fostering of a child.
· Caring for a spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, or sibling with a serious health condition.
· Assisting loved ones when a spouse, child, domestic partner, or parent is deployed abroad on active military duty.
Paid Family Leave benefits offer participants a percentage of the employee’s average weekly wage, or of the state’s average weekly wage (“SAWW” – $1,688.19 for 2023), whichever is less.
As of January 2023, the benefit is a maximum payment of 67% of the SAWW capped at $1,131.08 per week and a 12-week leave period.
