N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law § 203-b: Reinstatement following family leave

§ 203-b. Reinstatement following family leave. Any eligible employee

of a covered employer who takes leave under this article shall be

entitled, on return from such leave, to be restored by the employer to

the position of employment held by the employee when the leave

commenced, or to be restored to a comparable position with comparable

employment benefits, pay and other terms and conditions of employment.

The taking of family leave shall not result in the loss of any

employment benefit accrued prior to the date on which the leave

commenced. Nothing in this section shall be construed to entitle any

restored employee to the accrual of any seniority or employment benefits

during any period of leave, or any right, benefit or position to which

the employee would have been entitled had the employee not taken the

leave.
