The Department of Medical and Family Leave recently announced that the 2023 MA PFML premium contribution is of an employee’s eligible wages, which is a decrease from the 2022 premium rate of 0.68%. The allocation of employer and employee contributions is determined based on the number of employees who work for the employer in Massachusetts. For employers with 25 or more employees in Massachusetts, the employee’s contribution share is 0.11% of eligible wages for an employee’s family leave and up to 0.208% of eligible wages for an employee’s medical leave contributions. The employer contribution share is 0.312% of the total 0.63% premium. For employers with fewer than 25 employees in Massachusetts, the employee’s contribution share is 0.318% of the total 0.63% premium, and there is no required employer contribution.
The maximum benefit payment an eligible employee can receive in 2023 is an increase from the 2022 maximum of $1,084.31/week.
Employers with employees in Massachusetts should ensure that their PFML payroll systems and PFML policies and communication materials reflect these changes.
