Description

This session will break down the latest enhancements to the Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) Tax Credit and what they mean for employers. We’ll cover the permanent tax credit structure, expanded eligibility (including insurance premiums), and how these changes apply in states and localities with mandatory PFML laws, such as Washington, DC. Participants will learn best practices for formalizing PFML policies, tracking wages and premiums, and aligning with FMLA obligations. The discussion will also highlight common pitfalls to avoid, the compliance benefits of adopting a unified approach across jurisdictions, and the talent advantages of offering paid leave. Attendees will leave with actionable steps—including policy templates, benefit matrices, and employee communications that will help them avoid fines and lawsuits, while building a healthier, more attractive workplace.
