DC Paid Family Leave (Universal Paid Leave Act)
What is the Update?
DC Paid Family Leave (PFL)
Update (07/30/24): The District of Columbia’s Mayor Bowser recently signed an amendment to the DC PFL program that will go into effect as of July 1, 2024. Another change due to the amendment is that the Mayor is no longer required to provide employers with a 60-day advance notice of changes to the contribution rates, however is still required to provide said notice for the first employer contribution due after an employer contribution rate change. Currently, covered employers are required to contribute quarterly 0.26% of each covered employee’s salary. However, effective July 1, 2024, this amount will increase to 0.75%. As a reminder, contributions are due quarterly.
