The Employment Security Department (ESD) has released the first draft of rules on the state’s new Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program related to the topics of collective bargaining agreements, premium liability, and voluntary plans. The draft rules are available for comment through March 13. Cities are encouraged to review and provide comments.
PFML rulemaking will continue throughout the year and you can follow the process on ESD’s Paid Family and Medical Leave webpage. If you have questions, please contact Logan Bahr or Shannon McClelland.
