As part of the NY PFL program, the State of New York regulates how much employers can deduct as a percentage of each employee’s wages up to a set maximum amount. Employers can choose to pay all or part of their employees’ NY PFL contributions, and employers can choose to pay more than the state rate for a private plan that meets or exceeds the state program requirements.
