As mentioned in our articles on the state's Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program in the May 24 and September 13, 2022, editions of Compliance Corner, Colorado employers must register with the FAMLI program and begin deducting employees' shares of FAMLI Program premiums from employee paychecks.
Under the FAMLI Program, eligible employees may receive up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave where leave is needed due to birth, adoption, family member care, self-care, exigency leave, or safe leave, as well as up to four additional weeks of paid leave related to pregnancy and childbirth. The paid benefit is funded by premiums collected by employers and submitted to the program.
Employers with employees in the state should consult with counsel if they have not registered by the deadline.
