How does the New York State Paid Family Leave premium interact with PEO co-employment?

New York State Paid Family Leave is funded by a payroll deduction taken from the employee's gross wages, and remitted through the same payroll platform that runs the client's payroll. Under co-employment the PEO's platform holds the deduction, files the required reports, and — because the Workers' Compensation Board administers the programme — coordinates with the WCB rather than a stand-alone leave agency. The client of record does not fund the premium directly, but the employer-of-record signature on the required notices and posted materials continues to sit with the PEO.

Which New York regions carry a higher local minimum wage that a PEO must apply?

New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County are grouped into one higher minimum-wage region while the balance of the state operates on a lower rate. A PEO writing payroll for a New York client must apply the correct rate per employee based on the physical work location, not the client's registered address. A remote employee living inside the higher-rate region draws that rate even where the client's headquarters sits elsewhere, and the payroll platform must geocode location per period to hold that mapping through a move or reassignment.

Where is a New York PEO's registration verified before a client signs?

The New York Department of Labor administers PEO registration under the state PEO Act, but the registry is not consistently published as a searchable public database in the way the Texas or Florida rosters are. Prospective clients therefore usually pair a direct request to the PEO for a copy of its registration acknowledgement with the IRS Certified PEO listing as an independent cross-check. The Certified PEO status is a federal designation held by roughly one third of active US PEOs and is meaningful evidence of tax-remittance discipline.

PEO reference by US state

Coverage, pricing, and provider availability vary by state. State pages list the exact statutory numbers a PEO shoulders for you.
