The Delaware Paid Leave Poster Peel ‘N Post™ adheres to existing Delaware All-On-One™ Labor Law Posters and Mobile Poster Paks™ to ensure required workplace posters are up to date with state law and posting requirements.
During the 2022 legislation, Delaware passed a new law that will create a statewide paid family and medical leave (PFML) insurance program. PFML, effective January 1, 2026, will cover the following types of leave:
- Parental Leave: birth, adoption, placement through foster care, or care for a child during the first year after the child’s birth, adoption, or placement.
- Family Caregiver Leave: care for a family member with a serious health condition; qualifying military exigency.
- Medical Leave: serious health condition that makes employee unable to perform the functions of their position.
Employees are eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave, 6 weeks of paid family caregiver leave, or 6 weeks of paid medical leave in an application year.
The Delaware Paid Leave poster (under the heading Healthy Delaware Families Act) provides the following information:
- The amount of family and medical leave benefits;
- The procedure for filing a claim;
- The right to job protection and benefits;
- That discrimination and retaliatory personnel actions against the employee for requesting, applying for, or using family and medical leave benefits are prohibited;
- That the employee has a right to file a complaint for violations of this law; and
- Whether family and medical leave benefits are available to the employee through the state or an approved private plan.

C. § 3710) Employers must also provide a notice that includes the information listed above upon hiring an employee, when an employee requests leave, and/or when an employer knows that an employee’s leave may be for a qualifying event.
