2024 Tools & Tactics Webinar: PFML – Making Sense of the Madness - Disability Management Employer Coalition (DMEC)

Wednesday, May 22

9:00 am PT | 12:00 pm ET

For some employers, state Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) programs may be old hat, but many others don’t feel ready to manage the complexities, compliance and administrative challenges that PFML programs bring. With the implementation of four additional PFML state programs fast approaching, now is the time for employers to educate and prepare themselves for what’s coming right around the corner!

In this session, we will cover the implementation timelines for PFML programs in Maryland, Delaware, Minnesota, and Maine, as well as examine common issues and lessons learned as employers prepare themselves for the upcoming changes.

DMEC members receive free registration for webinars.

Learning Objectives

Recognize considerations for employers in preparation for new PFML programs.
