Paid leave benefits include up to 12 weeks of leave (or 16 weeks in certain circumstances) for the employee's own serious health condition, to care for a family member with a serious health condition, to care for a new child during the first year after their birth, adoption or foster care placement, for a qualifying exigency leave, and safe leave (leave related to domestic violence).
Funding for Colorado's FAMLI benefits is derived from employer and employee premium contributions, which began on January 1, 2023.
