The Department of Family and Medical Leave (DFML) recently released the 2024 Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) workplace posters, model notices, and rate sheets to reflect the 2024 rates in several languages. The poster and notices must be available in English and each language that is the primary language of five or more individuals in an employer's workforce if these translations are available from DFML.
All employers (including employers with private or self-insured plans) are required to distribute these updated notices to current employees annually and new employees who start their employment on or after January 1, 2024. Additionally, all Massachusetts employers with a physical work location must display a poster in a location where it can be easily read. All the required notices and posters can be found here.
For the MA PFML 2024 premium rate and maximum benefit amount information, see the article published in the October 10, 2023, edition of Compliance Corner.
Covered employers should review the updated posters and notices, display the workplace poster, and distribute the notice to their employees timely.
