Paid Family Leave: NEW 50-State Chart, NEW Topic Added

The patchwork of paid family leave (PFL) requirements continues to expand across states, with jurisdictions endeavoring to address a gap in coverage. While the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (and similar state laws) require covered employers to allow eligible employees to take job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons, the leave is unpaid. PFL helps employees by providing them an opportunity to take paid leave under similar circumstances.

Some of the original state PFL laws are insurance-based and provide only wage-replacement benefits. However, more recently, states have passed laws that provide both wage-replacement benefits and leave and reinstatement rights.

Reflecting this trend, XpertHR has developed a Paid Family Leave Requirements by State and Municipality Chart and a Paid Family Leave Topic to help employers compare and contrast the state requirements and comply with these developments.

Those interested in monitoring paid family leave developments via the XpertHR topic alert emails can select and save the paid family leave topic in "My Account" under "Topic Alerts".
