Updates to the District of Columbia Paid Family Leave Program

 

On October 17, 2023, DC’s Office of Paid Family Leave (OPFL) released a new model Notice to Employees that must be posted by February 1, 2024. The model notice is released annually in October. Employers are required to post a physical copy of the notice at each worksite in a conspicuous place where labor notices are customarily posted and send the notice to covered workers who work remotely for posting at their individual worksites.

In addition to posting the notice, covered employers must also provide it in paper or electronic form annually, within 30 days of hiring, and whenever they are aware leave may be needed. More information on posting and notice requirements is available in the OPFL’s DC Paid Family Leave Employer Toolkit .

Additionally, the model notice announces an increased maximum weekly benefit amount of $1,118 (previously $1,049), effective immediately. The employer contribution rate of 0.26% based on the immediate past quarter of gross wages has not changed.
