Leave for Cancer Screening

On December 18, 2017, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law an amendment of Section 159-b of the state Civil Service Law. The amendment entitles any public employee the right to paid, excused leave of absence from his or her duties for a sufficient period of time, not to exceed four hours, to undertake a screening for cancer of any kind. The law had previously provided leave for public employees for only breast and prostate cancer screenings.

The employee may be required to provide satisfactory medical documentation to substantiate that their absence was for the purpose of screening for cancer. Failure to provide appropriate documentation may result in the employee being charged a sick or personal day.

Leave for cancer screening is not cumulative and expires at the close of business on the last day of each calendar year.
