New York Paid Family Leave Withholding
New York Paid Family Leave Withholding
Following is an announcement from New York on the New York Paid Family Leave withholding.
Just yesterday, June 1, 2017, the Superintendent of Financial Services issued its decision setting the maximum employee contribution at 0.126% of an employee’s weekly wage, up to and not to exceed 0.126% of the statewide average weekly wage (“SAWW”). The SAWW, which was set by the New York State Department of Labor on March 31, 2017, is currently $1,305.92. So, for example, if an employee’s weekly wage amounts to $1,000.00, the maximum payroll deduction for PFL would be $1.26 for that week. For employees who make more than the SAWW of $1,305.92, the PFL deduction will be capped at $1.65 per week (0.126% of $1,305.92). As a reminder, the SAWW is calculated annually on March 31st based on the previous calendar year, so the maximum PFL employee contribution will likely increase in March 2018.
