Massachusetts Paid Family Medical Leave

Massachusetts Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) provides eligible employees with paid time off to care for a seriously ill family member, bond with a new child, or manage certain family situations. Funded through payroll contributions, it offers job protection and income replacement for up to 12 weeks (or 20 weeks for medical leave). The benefit allows employees to maintain financial stability while attending to personal or family health needs. PFML aims to support work-life balance and reinforce job security during important family or health-related periods.
