New Hampshire Paid Family and Medical Leave
What is the Update?
Update (12/13/24, Effective 01/01/25): For 2025, the New Hampshire Paid Family and Medical Leave (NHPFML) program’s maximum weekly benefit amount will increase from $1,945.38 to $2,031.92.
As a reminder, the NH PFML program is an optional income replacement program that employers or individual employees may voluntarily opt-into. Employers must have a physical location in New Hampshire to provide coverage, or for their employees to be eligible for individual coverage. Employers do not have to pay for the employee’s contribution if the employee opts in as an individual. The contribution rate is assessed individually for each employer who opts into the program and will be determined on a company-by-company basis.
If you are a Larkin Company client, and you do choose to enroll in the NH PFML program, now or in the future, please let us know as soon as possible, so we can administer your leaves accordingly. If you have individual employees who opt into the program, please also inform Larkin.
