Westchester employees are covered by NY Paid Family Leave under NY Workers Compensation Law Section 200 plus, NY Paid Sick Leave under NY Labor Law Section 196-b, and the NY HERO Act airborne infectious disease standard. Local governments cannot weaken these rights.
NY Paid Family Leave provides up to 12 weeks at 67 percent of average weekly wage, funded by employee payroll deductions and administered by the NY Workers Compensation Board. NY Paid Sick Leave gives most workers up to 56 hours of leave per year, scaled by employer size. The NY HERO Act requires airborne infectious disease exposure prevention plans. Pregnancy and prenatal leave additions took effect in 2025. Cities and counties may add benefits but cannot reduce them. Westchester County provides employee leave above the statutory floor for its own staff.
Denial or retaliation can result in reinstatement, back pay, civil penalties, and personal liability for executives under NY Labor Law Section 215 anti-retaliation provisions.
