Paid Family and Medical Leave Information for Massachusetts Employers

Paid Family and Medical Leave downloads for Massachusetts employers

All Massachusetts employers are required to distribute certain information to both their W-2 and 1099-MISC workers under the PFML law.

Download your copies of the mandatory workplace poster, notices for your W-2 and 1099-MISC workers (depending on the size of your workforce), a rate sheet, and some basic PFML facts. This information must be made available in English and each language that is the primary language of 5 or more of your workers, if it is one of the available translations.
