Paid Bereavement Leave

Bereavement leave refers to when an employee takes time off of work to grieve and mourn the loss of a spouse, child, or close family member. There are only two states which offer some form of bereavement leave to its workers, which are Oregon and Illinois. However, New York may become the third state to offer a form of bereavement leave.

New York State’s Paid Family Leave Program Begins

What constitutes paid family leave and whether employers should be required to offer it has been a widely debated topic for decades. Recently, New York State has taken a step forward in this issue by granting employees new rights regarding family leave. As of the first day of the new year, the laws outlining employees’ eligibility for paid family leave have been improved in New York State to make it one of the most generous plans in the nation. The program for New York State will be phased in over the course of the next four years, beginning with 8 weeks of paid leave and eventually growing to 12 weeks of paid leave by 2021.

    I wish I had found him earlier. He is absolutely excellent, honest, kind and respectful. He is a man of honor and integrity. He's doing this to truly help people, especially the vulnerable and underrepresented. When other lawyers only see dollar signs, he doesn't. He sees you as a person, and cares about you and your rights. Set up a consultation with him and you won't regret it.

    Steven was incredibly responsive in my situation, providing deep expertise around employment law and negotiation tactics. Even during the after effects of a snowstorm, he rushed me his book and took numerous calls. He was generous with his time, fair and direct with his guidance, but still allowed for situational understanding and getting to know me. Even though I did not need to retain his full service beyond a consultation, he still let me fully maximize the time he agreed to share and gave me the confidence I needed to handle the situation despite a very complicated SaaS tech situation. I was happy to share back with him that, even though the odds were very slim, his support did end up leading to a slight improvement in my case which is of course better than nothing.

    If you're looking for someone who truly knows the law, how to negotiate, and will do his best to fight for you - even if that's telling you the cold truth about your chances and still giving you support anyway as you ask - you need to call Steven!

    There are very few employment lawyer specialists I have learned with many friends in law and there even fewer with his track record.

    Steven is simply phenomenal. From the moment I first tried to contact him through the consultation conclusion. I attempted reaching 5 other NYC-based employment attorneys and all others either didn't respond or had me bouncing between secretaries only to finally send me an intake form anyway. Steven not only responded immediately and in person, but was able to schedule me for a consultation the same day, which was critical given a deadline I had to meet. Our meeting took place punctually at the time scheduled, Steven helped me with my inquiry, explaining all the legal language and answering all my questions exhaustively. He was perfectly clear, thorough, respectful, honest, and patient. He generously sent me one of his bestselling books free of charge, and offered me a free 30 min follow-up consultation on account of our meeting not filling the hour (though it did run well over half hour and was the best price I could find anywhere to begin with). Simply outstanding. You will not easily find another attorney like this anywhere.

    Steven is excellent. Helped me resolve an employment situation within a day. He was fast, punctual, honest, clear, respectful, kind, and patient with me. He answered my many questions and helped me carefully with the specifics. I felt very taken care of and confident in how I handled my work situation based off his advice which resulted in significantly more favorable terms than if I had done it on my own. I'd be more than happy to utilize his services again in the future. I appreciate the book as well, which I received right away despite being on the opposite coast - it's tremendous. I'm grateful to have been referred to him for what I needed. Thank you, Steven.

    I’m incredibly grateful for Steven’s help during a very stressful employment situation. From the start, he was kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring, and he explained everything clearly so I always felt informed and supported. Steven identified the key legal issues quickly and helped resolve my matter in less than 24 hours, which was such a relief during an otherwise overwhelming time. I truly appreciated his honesty, responsiveness, and calm, steady guidance throughout the process. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for thoughtful and effective employment law counsel.
    Alicia Shuster
    Steven is very knowledgeable, direct and efficient. I really appreciated that he was very direct about my prospects from the first discussion and he never wasted my time. If you’re looking for a straight-shooter that will focus on resolution with efficiency I highly recommend him.
    Response from the owner:Alicia, your review is very much appreciated. Please feel free to get in contact if you have any other employment matters to resolve.
