Information in the Paid Family Leave (PFL) pamphlet is required by state law mandates and must be provided to all new employees AND employees taking a leave of absence for a reason that is covered. PFL benefits became available on July 1, 2004. For more information, see
Paid Family Leave Law: What Employers Need to Know.
Including these pamphlets in your orientation kits and giving one to every employee taking a leave for a covered reason fulfills an important legal obligation. You are required to provide information about Paid Family Leave (PFL) which is a part of the State Disability Insurance program that gives workers reimbursement of their pay for as much as six weeks during any 12-month period.
The Paid Family Leave (PFL) pamphlet:
- Describes the PFL benefits program
- Outlines what makes employees eligible or ineligible for PFL benefits
- Explains how to apply for the benefits
- Fulfills your legal obligation to distribute PFL information to all new hires and again to those becoming absent due to a non-work related disability
Each packet contains 20 copies of the pamphlet, available in English or Spanish.
