Great News: Paid Family News has come to NY!

Barnard Center for Research on Women

BCRW is thrilled to share this news from A Better Balance, which helped lead the successful campaign for Paid Family Leave in New York:

From A Better Balance:

New York has passed the strongest paid family leave program in the nation, becoming the fourth state in the country to guarantee paid leave for workers welcoming a new child or caring for a seriously ill family member, and the first to provide 12 weeks. The law, which will provide up to 12 weeks of job-protected paid leave once fully phased in, goes into effect on January 1, 2018.

To learn more about how the program will work, and what to do if you work in New York and need paid family leave before January 2018, click here to read our overview of the new law

BCRW worked with A Better Balance in 2007 to organize “Work-Family Dilemma: Better Balance Policy Solutions for All New Yorkers,” conference and A New Feminist Solutions policy report by the same name, producing research, analysis, and policy recommendations to support this campaign.

Congratulations to A Better Balance and all New Yorkers!
