As you know, Massachusetts has released changes to the maximum weekly benefit amount and contribution rates for the state’s paid family and medical leave (PFML) program. Effective January 1, 2025:
- The maximum weekly benefit amount that an employee can receive in PFML benefits will be $1,170.64 per week.
- The contribution rate on eligible employee wages will be .88%.
Additionally, all Massachusetts employers must display a workplace poster prepared or approved by the Department of Family and Medical Leave (DFML) that explains the benefits available to your workforce under PFML law. A new poster is available here.
The new hire notice has also been updated, and can be found here.
