DE Paid Family & Medical Leave
Delaware has implemented its very own Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Program. The aim of this program is to ensure Delaware workers have financial support if they need to take a leave of absence from their job for any of the following four reasons: A serious health condition that impacts them (Medical Leave) or a family member (Family Caregiver Leave), a family member’s overseas military deployment (Qualified Exigency Leave) or after welcoming a new child to their family (Parental Leave).
Businesses, including non-profits and faith-based employers, who meet all of the following criteria are required to register and facilitate the PFML program by January 1, 2025:
