The Paid Family Leave Benefits Law allows individuals to receive sixty-seven percent of their average weekly wage for no more than twelve weeks in which an employee cannot perform their work duties in order to care for a family member, to bond with a child during the first twelve months of the child’s birth or the child’s placement for adoption or foster care, or because of any qualifying exigency arising when a spouse or partner is on active duty without fear of being terminated, retaliation, or losing any health benefits afforded by employer.Individuals are elegible if they are employed by an elegible employer for at least four weeks and for a four week period after their employment has been terminated. The employer must first offer an employee to charge all or part of the employee’s unused vacation time or personal leave available before the employee becomes elegible for family leave benefits. There can be no duplication of benefits.
