New York Paid Family Leave

Has anyone set up this leave as a Benefit Plan that successfully limits the deduction to the $1.65 max? The plan is calculating the correct percentage of weekly wages, but will not limit the deduction. We are currently reimbursing overages manually.

The New York Paid Family Leave cannot be setup as a benefit plan because it is a tax (Tax Status=87) and BN15 will not allow a tax deduction to be added to a benefit plan. The state of New York changed the weekly max to be an annual max instead, BSI is setup to control the limits if you are on the current cyclic/bulletin.

As per the website: www.ny.gov/.../paid-family-leave-information-employers

The 2018 payroll contribution is 0.126% of an employee’s weekly wage and is capped at an annual maximum of $85.56. If an employee earns less than the New York State Average Weekly Wage ($1305.92 per week), they will have an annual contribution amount less than the cap of $85.56, consistent with their actual weekly wages.

New York has eliminated the cap on weekly wages. We got that from BSI. I have one company that does it as a Tax and one as deduction. Please check at: www.ny.gov/paid-family-leave-calculator. You no longer need to reimburse I believe. Please call 212-598-6882 if you need help. This is the quote from BSI "BSI has modified the rule for the NY Paid Leave Act:

"Reissues the data previously issued in Regulatory Bulletin 126 to remove the maximum pay period wage base and honor an annual wage base of $67,907.84. This will allow the payroll contribution to accumulate until the employee reaches the annual maximum contribution.

NOTE: This information was recently made available by the Authority."

Thank you very much for this information. This was very helpful.
