    4. Mandatory FAMLI Registration - Maryland Employers Need to Act Now!

    Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) is a new program in Maryland, and all employers with at least one employee localized in Maryland are now required to register with FAMLI. There are no exceptions under state law. Starting January 1, 2027, employers are responsible for contributions that will be paid into a fund administered by the State. Alternatively, employers can apply to use a private plan. When benefits become available January 1, 2028, FAMLI will make it possible for eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of paid, job-protected leave for qualifying events.
