If I work remotely for a Company based in New York - Do I qualify for New York's State paid Leave?
I looked it up online and I found this for out of state employees:
Paid Family Leave is for employees who work in New York, and where you live does not matter when determining if you are in New York employment. If you are working in New York, your employment is considered New York employment.
If you mostly work in another state but come to New York for sales calls and other meetings, you are probably not eligible. Your employment must be localized in New York State, which means that most of your work is performed in New York, and any work performed outside the state is only incidental or temporary. This also applies if you telecommute from another state for a New York based employer.
My work would all technically be done in New York (some in New Jersey) but I would be doing it from home the majority of the time. Anyone ever been in a similar situation?
