What’s changed?
Under District of Columbia’s Universal Paid Leave Amendment Act of 2016, also known as the Paid Family Leave Law, employers must provide paid family leave to employees working in the District of Columbia. The law provides up to eight weeks of parental leave to bond with a new child, six weeks of family leave to care for an ill family member with a serious health condition, and two weeks of medical leave to care for one’s own serious health condition.
Who is required to post?
All District of Columbia employers are required to post and maintain the Paid Family Leave (PFL) Notice in a conspicuous location where notices to employees are customarily posted. (DC Act 21-682, Sec. 106(h)(i))
What else do I need to know?
All District of Columbia employers are also required to provide PFL notices in electronic and physical form to:
  • All employees at least once between February 1, 2020 and February 1, 2021 and at least once a year every following year;
  • All new employees hired after February 1, 2020 at the time of hire; and
  • Individual employees when the employer receives direct notice after February 1, 2020 of the employee’s need for leave for an event that could qualify for Paid Family Leave benefits.
