A 1940 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to paid leave for menstrual complications and menopause

This New York bill creates a new paid leave benefit for workers experiencing menstrual complications or menopause. Eligible employees can take up to four paid days each month (max 48 days annually) for conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, hot flashes, or sleep issues related to menopause. The leave is added to existing workers' compensation coverage, requiring employers to treat these absences like other covered medical leaves. It directly affects New York workers with qualifying health conditions who are covered under the state's workers' compensation system.
