No. NYPFL (New York Paid Family Leave) was introduced in 2018. It is insurance that is funded by employees through payroll deductions. New York's state's Paid Family Leave (PFL) program provides workers with job-protected, paid leave to bond with a new child, care for a loved one with a serious health condition, or to help relieve family pressures when someone is deployed abroad on active military service.
Each year, the Department of Financial Services sets the employee contribution rate to match the cost of coverage. In 2022, the employee contribution is 0.511% of an employee’s gross wages each pay period. The maximum annual contribution is $423.71. Pursuant to the Department of Tax Notice No. N-17-12 [PDF], Paid Family Leave contributions are deducted from employees’ after-tax wages. Employees earning less than the Statewide Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) of $1,594.57 will contribute less than the annual cap of $423.71, consistent with their actual wages.
