DC 37 worked with OLR and MetLife to create this website.
A new website that is available to city employees who are covered by the NYS Paid Family Leave program. In 2021 a survey of participants who used the program found that employees needed clear information about how to use Paid Family Leave.
In 2023, the program will improve by lowering the payroll deduction from0.511% of income to 0.455% with a lower maximum deduction of $399.43. In addition, siblings will be covered as an eligible dependent for leave.
DC 37 worked with OLR and MetLife to create this website. Please share it with members on your websites, newsletters, membership meetings. If you have questions about PFL, I would be happy to assist.

Employees in titles represented by unions that have collectively bargained an agreement to opt into New York State Paid Family Leave Benefits will be eligible to take paid family leave (“PFL”). PFL is an employee-funded insurance policy that provides job-protected, paid time-off to bond with a newly born, adopted or fostered child, to care for a family member with a serious health condition including preparation and recovery from surgery related to organ or tissue donation, or to assist loved ones when a family member is deployed in a foreign country on active military service. Each CBU has a specific effective date for this benefit. Please refer to the attachment “List of Covered Unions” for eligibility dates.
