Maryland’s Impending FAMLI Program: What Employers Need to Know Now
The Maryland Department of Labor released proposed regulations to implement the state’s paid family and medical leave insurance (FAMLI) law. The FAMLI law will provide benefits to workers in the state who take leave from employment for certain medical and family care reasons starting July 1, 2026. Proposed employer responsibilities may include creating and maintaining an online account with the FAMLI Division for reporting contributions; responsibility for 100 percent of contributions but can withhold up to 50 percent from employees’ wages (small employers with fewer than 15 employees have reduced contribution obligations); and notifying employees about FAMLI leave and benefits at hire, annually, and when an employee’s leave may qualify for FAMLI.
Important dates: Employers will start payroll deductions for the FAMLI program on July 1, 2025, remitting the first payment to the state on Oct. 1 of next year. Benefits will be available to employees beginning July 1, 2026.
