What's new with statutory disability income and state paid family and medical leave?

With many states passing their own paid family and medical leave (PFML) and paid family leave (PFL) mandates, more employees are able to take the time they need during critical points in their life. But staying compliant with new regulations can be challenging for employers, especially if they have employees in various states.

Here are the latest state-specific updates you should know about. Please note that the following information is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice or a substitute for legal counsel. We recommend employers speak with legal counsel specializing in labor and employment law to ensure compliance with applicable PFML and PFL mandates.

Please refer to our SDI and PFML grid for more information.
