There is no law in New York state that requires employers to give employees paid time off for a death in the family, although some employers voluntarily provide such a benefit.
While New York’s Paid Family Leave Act (NYPFL) and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act entitle eligible workers to take time from work to care for a dying family member, neither law provides for bereavement leave.
In December 2018, Governor Cuomo vetoed a bill that would have extended the NYPFL to require employers to offer up to 12 weeks of paid time off for workers to deal with the death of a family member.
