Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML)
Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML)
Paid family and medical leave (PFML) is a program designed to help people in Massachusetts take paid time off of work for family or medical reasons
Massachusetts’s PFML law is funded through employer and employee contributions, and is different from the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, and from any benefits your employer might already offer.
Most Massachusetts employees are eligible for up to 26 weeks of combined family and medical leave per benefit year. You can take leave for a qualifying reason. A qualifying reason is the cause or event that makes you unable to work and eligible for Paid Family and Medical Leave benefits.
