Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML)

Starting in January 2026, Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) will ensure Minnesotans can take the time they need to be there for some of life's most important moments like welcoming a child, recovering from a serious illness, or caring for a loved one. As a provider, MRCI is required to provide all workers with the notice Every employee needs to review and sign off on the document. This required document needs to be signed and returned prior to December 1, 2025.

On November 14^th, MRCI sent all workers a notice with a link to sign an acknowledgement for the PFML, please encourage your workers to review, sign and return to MRCI by December 1st. MRCI has elected to go with the state system for workers who need to apply PFML. MRCI will not make a determination on who is or is not eligible for the paid leave, that is up to the State Department.

To find out more on the rules surrounding PFML, please visit the Minnesota Paid Leave website. As a reminder, the PFML is a Minnesota State law, workers cannot opt out. A tax will be applied to all budgets of .44% and all workers will see a .44% tax on their paychecks as well starting January 1^st.
