Crime Victim’s Leave
Any employee who is a crime victim may take unpaid leave to appear as a witness, consult with
the district attorney, or attend a proceeding related to the crime. The employee must request
such leave prior to the day of their attendance and may be required to provide verification of
attendance. For purposes of this policy, “victim” includes the aggrieved party (or the aggrieved
party’s next of kin if the aggrieved party is deceased as a result of the offense), the representative
of a victim, a good Samaritan, or a person pursuing an application or enforcement of an order of
protection.

Blood & Bone Marrow Donor Leave
Eligible employees working an average of 20 or more hours per week will be granted up to three
hours of leave on an unpaid basis in any twelve (12) month period to donate blood. Eligible
employees working an average of 20 or more hours per week will be granted up to 24 work hours
of leave per donation on an unpaid basis to donate bone marrow. Employees may substitute sick
leave during leave under this section; otherwise, leave is unpaid. An employee should provide
their manager with as much advance notice as possible when scheduling this leave.
For information regarding these provisions or other rights or benefits under New York law, please
contact the People Team.

Relationship with Other Types of Leave
NY PFL will run concurrently with any other leave law applicable to the employee when the
reason for leave qualifies under both. You may not receive short-term disability and Paid Family
Leave benefits at the same time. You may not take more than 26 combined weeks of short-term
disability and Paid Family Leave in a 52-week period. If you are unable to work and qualify for
Workers’ Compensation Benefits, you may not use Paid Family Leave benefits at the same time
as you are receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits. If you are receiving reduced earnings, you
may be eligible for Paid Family Leave. Please check with the People Team.

Disputes
If your Paid Family Leave claim is denied, the insurance carrier or Company, if self-insured, will
provide you with information about how to request arbitration. A neutral arbitrator will decide
claim-related disputes.

Discrimination Complaints
Employees are protected from discrimination and retaliation for requesting or taking Paid Family
Leave. If the Company terminates your employment, reduces your pay and/or benefits, or
disciplines you in any way as a result of you requesting or taking Paid Family Leave, send the
People Team a formal request for job reinstatement using the Formal Request for Reinstatement
Regarding Paid Family Leave (Form PFL-DC-119), which can be found in the forms section of
PaidFamilyLeave.ny.gov. File the completed form with the People Team and send a copy to: Paid
Family Leave, P. O. Box 9030, Endicott, NY 13761-9030.
