PAID PARENTAL LEAVE (PPL)
State Employees
PPL provides eligible CSEA, PEF, UUP, M/C, and NYSCOPBA employees up to 12 weeks of paid leave for each qualifying event, defined as the birth of a child or placement of a child for adoption or foster care. PPL may begin on the date of birth, the day of adoption or foster care placement or anytime thereafter within seven months. An employee’s ability to use PPL ends seven months from the date of the qualifying event. PPL cannot be used intermittently and must be taken in one block of time. Employees do not have to take the full 12 weeks, but once they return from PPL, they willingly forfeit the additional weeks of PPL. PPL is available for use once every 12-month period.
