In 2018, Massachusetts signed into law a statute that provides paid family and medical leave (PFML) benefits to workers. Employers and employees must begin making contributions in October of 2019 to a new state fund which will administer and distribute the benefits beginning in 2021.
We held a special webinar to discuss the program and how to be compliant (recorded May 2019):
We’ve got additional resources for you as well:
- Employer Poster PFML Oct19 – you must display to notify your workforce
- PFML-EMPLOYER-DO-YOU-NEED-TO-CONTRIBUTE– easy-to-use flow chart to determine if you need to make employer contributions
- Notice To Employees Oct19 – (for your employees/W2 recipients) you must distribute and collect signed acknowledgement of receipt from each covered individual
- Notice To SelfEmployed Oct19 – (for your independent contractors/1099-MISC recipients) you must distribute and collect signed acknowledgement of receipt from each covered individual
