Shawe Rosenthal’s Guide to the Family & Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) Program Overview

This law applies to all employers with employees in Maryland. It provides eligible employees with 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave, with the possibility of an additional 12 weeks of paid parental leave (for a possible total of 24 weeks of paid leave). This $1.6 billion program will be administered by the State and funded by contributions from employers and employees. The Maryland Department of Labor has created a new FAMLI Division to administer the program, and it will issue regulations to implement the provisions of the law.
