PFL Deductions
Posted by [email protected] on Dec. 19, 2017 / Subscribe 2
I am trying to see what everyone else is doing for Paid Family Leave (PFL) deductions. For employees who are scheduled under 20 hours are you waiting for employees to become eligible before deducting? That is a lot of tracking and most of our employees will become eligible so we are thinking deducting from DOH. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Employees who are likely to become eligible should start deductions as of 1/1/18 or DOH (whichever comes second). If they become eligible and have not been making deductions, they will need to make deductions retroactively back to 1/1/18 or DOH. The only way for employees to exempt themselves from deductions is by signing the PFL waiver. The only employees who should complete the waiver are the ones who will likely never become eligible. If they work more than 175 days in 52 weeks, they aren’t eligible to waive.

We have a similar situation and have made the decision to begin deductions for all employees because we believe the likelihood of them becoming eligible is great. It eliminates some of that tracking and as long as we are making that business decision to take this stance with all employees, it is OK. If an employee wants to elect a waiver, we of course will comply. Thanks.
