Relates to paid leave for menopause
This bill adds menopause as a qualifying condition for paid leave under New York's workers' compensation law. It provides eligible employees with five days of paid leave annually (not monthly) to seek medical care for menopause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep issues, or hormonal imbalances. The leave is in addition to existing family and medical leave protections and requires employees to obtain physician assistance for treatment. It directly affects workers experiencing menopause-related health needs who qualify for workers' compensation coverage.
