After a few days the people of the state of new York will be able to receive paid family leave.
Some staff since the summer might notice a small deduction from their salaries. For other deductions (small, about 1.65 dollars per week) will start on 1 January 2018. These funds will create an insurance Bank, which will Fund paid family leave.
For what purposes you can take this vacation? For example, for child care during the first year after birth or adoption. It can also be used to provide medical care to your partner, child, parents, grandparents or other relatives. Submit it and if your family member goes into military service.
In 2018, the payment for vacation will be 50% of your salary, by 2021 it will increase to 67%.
However, as usual, is not so smooth.
«As we counted, a little arithmetic does not add up, yet underfunded,» he told WHEC financier Nathaniel Garfield of the company Novem Group. «It doesn’t have the funds to provide paid family leave to everyone».
Anyway, no harm in trying. If you work full time, we are entitled to such leave after 26 weeks. In 2018 you can take 8 weeks of paid family leave, 2019 – 10 weeks, and from 2020 – up to 12 weeks.
