Paid Leave Premiums


How do I split premiums on the notice? 


When you fill out this notice, you will be asked how you plan to split the Paid Leave premium between employer and employee. Regardless of the size of your organization, you can deduct a maximum of .44% of an employee's wages to fund their portion of the premium. This amount broken down is 0.305% for medical leave and 0.135% for family leave.
