New York COVID leave remains in effect
Although federal COVID leave benefits have expired, New York’s COVID leave remains in effect.

If you work for a private employer with between 11-99 employees as of January 1, 2020: Your employer is required to provide you with 5 days of paid COVID-19 sick leave.

If you work for a private employer with 100 or more employees as of January 1, 2020: Your employer is required to provide you with 14* days of paid COVID-19 sick leave.

If you work for a public employer: All public employers must provide at least 14* days of paid COVID-19 sick leave, regardless of how many employees they have.

*The 14 days are affected by the Department of Health’s January 2022 guidance that allows individuals who have been exposed to COVID-19 to end their quarantine after 5 days if they are asymptomatic and subsequently test negative, or if it is not possible to get a test and they have had no COVID-19 symptoms. NY’s COVID-19 quarantine leave benefits are only available during the order of quarantine or isolation. Once an individual is no longer subject to an order of quarantine or isolation, they are no longer eligible for NY’s COVID-19 quarantine leave benefits.
