Key Dates

Registration is free, but space is limited. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn how to implement and comply with the new mandate, which the state legislature enacted in 2019.

Businesses with one or more employees must participate in the paid FMLA program. If you are self-employed or a sole proprietor, you may opt in.

The program’s first major milestone is just six months away, when 0.5% mandatory employee payroll deductions begin Jan. 1, 2021.

Paid benefits will first be available to covered employees from Jan. 1, 2022, at the rate of 95% of weekly earnings, but no more than 60 times the applicable state minimum wage, which increases to $12 on Sept. 1, 2020.
