New Prenatal Leave Law Benefits Pregnant Workers in New York


Listen Later

You’ve heard of paid family leave—but what about paid prenatal leave? 

Today’s episode highlights good news for women, workers, and families in the Empire State. As of January 1, 2025, New York enacted a first-of-its-kind new benefit that provides 20 hours of paid prenatal leave benefits to all pregnant private-sector workers.

Learn more about this groundbreaking new law and what it could mean for the rest of us:

  • What rights pregnant New York workers are now entitled to;
  • How this benefit came to pass in the New York State House;
  • And how we might advocate for similar legislation nationwide.
