Federal Emergency Expanded Family and Medical Leave (EFMLA)

[Human Resource Services]

New York State employees who have been employed for at least 30 days prior
to their request for leave may be eligible for EFMLA.  Eligible employees
are entitled to 12 work weeks of public health emergency leave at
two-thirds pay from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

The only qualifying need is that the employee is unable to work or telework
because the employee is needed to care for the employee’s minor child under
age 18 due to an elementary or secondary school or place of care closure,
or due to the unavailability of a child care provider, because of a
COVID-19 public health emergency. Employees who have a child, age 18 or
older, who is incapable of self-care because of a mental or physical
disability shall also be eligible for this leave.

Any FMLA an employee used prior to April 1, 2020, for reasons other than
those related to COVID-19, is subtracted from this additional 12 weeks of
EFMLA Leave. This period of FMLA does not provide an additional 12 weeks of
leave entitlement, but rather provides a new qualifying reason for which
leave can be taken. Employees are still limited to a total of 12 weeks of
FMLA for 2020.

Employees must submit appropriate documentation to support the use of EFLMA
to the extent practicable.
