(from Venable LLP) New York is the first state in the country to offer paid prenatal leave. The leave is available to all full-time and part-time non-governmental employees, including those working for independent schools. The law provides employees with 20 hours of leave during a 52-week period for prenatal healthcare appointments during their pregnancy. It covers such services as physical examinations, medical procedures, monitoring and testing, and discussions with a healthcare provider related to the pregnancy.
