New York State Paid Family Leave regulation update: Construction employees

Effective January 1, 2027, the Paid Family Leave (PFL) law will include a new eligibility standard for certain construction employees who work for covered employer(s) that are under a collective bargaining agreement. The NYS Workers’ Compensation Board (Board) plans to propose amendments to the PFL regulations to help implement this change and align the regulations to the law.

This proposal will be published soon in the State Register and on the Board’s website. A Subject Number will be issued when it is published.
