Maine's Paid Family and Medical Leave Law: What Schools Need to Know About Paid FML
Live Zoom
Description
About the program:
Grab a lunch and join us as we discuss Maine’s Paid Family and Medical Leave law. In this program, we provide an overview of the rules regarding Paid FML and what obligations schools will have under these rules, including making contributions to the Paid FML fund and providing leave to employees. In addition, we’ll discuss how the new Paid FML benefits will interact with existing leave laws and benefits and provide suggestions on how best to manage the differences and the overlap. This program will include interactive scenarios and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Topics will include:
- Paid FML basics such as the protections Paid FML will provide, who will be eligible, what they’ll receive, and notice requirements;
- The differences between Paid FML and FMLA, Maine FML, and Maine School FML;
- Intermittent leave;
- How Paid FML will interact with benefits provided by law or collective bargaining agreements; and
- Whether a private plan is a good option.
