Relates to increasing short-term disability benefits

Summary

The bill revises New York’s workers’ compensation law to broaden the definition of a disability day, add a pregnancy‑loss leave category, and strengthen job‑protection and health‑insurance rights for employees on short‑term disability or family leave. It also changes how benefits are calculated, raising the weekly payout percentage and extending the maximum weeks of leave. The changes are intended to give workers more income and job security while they recover or care for family members.
