Please see the Probation Update letter from DC37 OLR, July 10, 2020, below. Many members were concerned about the temporary delay in their probation period so I asked DC 37 Research & Negotiations to speak to OLR about modifying the original letter.

Paid Family Leave Benefits

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.
