Statutory Benefits

Paid Leave Programs


A handful of states have had mandated Short-Term Disability and/or Paid Family Leave programs in place for some time. But, more recently Paid Family & Medical Leave is becoming a required benefit in an increasing number of states in the US. Whether an employer chooses to obtain this insurance coverage through the state or from a private carrier, it provides partially-paid time-off for certain family and/or medical reasons. The specific requirements and benefits, however, vary from state to state. 

Choose Your State

While state-mandated Paid Family & Medical Leave, Paid Family Leave, and Short-Term Disability laws cover the same general concept, they vary by state. Benefit amounts, durations, reasons for leave, etc. differ from state to state – even down to the name of the respective program.
