What Maryland Employers Need To Know About The New FAMLI Program

by | Nov 19, 2024

Starting July 1, 2026, most employees working in Maryland (including for small, large, public, private, for-profit and non-profit businesses) will be permitted to take time away from work to care for themselves or a family member and still be paid up to $1,000 a week for 12 weeks. In this complimentary webinar, RKW employment lawyers Laura Rubenstein and Tony Herman will walk through the Maryland Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program explaining the benefits, eligibility, and obligations as compliance deadlines approach.
