2022 State Paid Family and Medical Leave Contributions and Benefits

Summary

As of January 2022, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Washington, and Washington, DC, mandate paid leave for an employee's own health condition. Oregon and Colorado will begin similar programs in 2023. Except for Hawaii and Puerto Rico, these jurisdictions also require paid family leave for bonding with a new child, caring for a seriously ill or injured family member, and certain other purposes. Despite some common elements, differences in these mandates make compliance and administration particularly challenging for multistate employers.
