We had a conversation with Chris Counihan, Director of the new Delaware Paid Leave program, set to begin paying benefits on January 1, 2026. This in-depth discussion focused on the purpose, benefits, and intricacies of this new statutory program. We dove into the unique features, employer expectations, and key considerations for communicating the program to workers, coordinating benefits, and participating in the claim process. Attendees gained valuable insights to help their organizations navigate the requirements and ensure they are prepared to support their workers.
