New York mandates paid medical leave for prenatal care

Credited from: APNEWS

  • New York has become the first state to implement a law mandating at least 20 hours of paid leave for prenatal medical appointments.
  • The law allows all private-sector pregnant workers to request paid leave for various pregnancy-related medical appointments.
  • Governor Kathy Hochul initiated this policy to address issues of maternal and infant mortality within the state.
  • Employers cannot ask for medical information when employees apply for this specific leave.
  • This new policy operates independently of other paid sick leave programs offered by employers, and spouses of pregnant women do not qualify.
