Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML)

Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) is a state program that provides workers with paid time off to care for themselves or their family members. It allows employees to take up to 26 weeks of paid leave for serious health conditions, bonding with a new child, or caring for a family member with a serious illness. Funding for the program comes from employee payroll contributions. Eligible workers can receive a portion of their salary while they are away, helping them to maintain financial stability during challenging times.
