Maryland to launch the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) July 1, 2026.
FAMLI provides eligible workers in Maryland paid time off from work to care for themselves or a family member. Employers are working to understand and educate employees on how FAMLI intertwines with other federal and state job protected leave programs.
Description: Public and private sector entities navigate daily the winding path of FMLA, ADA, WC, FAMLI, and Sick & Safe Leave, knowing that multiple employees could be using one, two or all five of these leaves at the same time. Jurisdictions must recognize and evaluate the intersection of these medical and disability laws to ensure employees receive entitled benefits and protections, while safeguarding constituent services against negative impacts. Violations of any of these laws may result in the jurisdiction being responsible for lost wages, back pay, reinstatement, retroactive benefits, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. In this session, an expert panel will discuss recent developments and best practices for managing multiple medical and disability leaves.
Speakers:
- Regan Vaughn, Director of Policy FAMLI Division
- Emily Young, Manager, Leave Administration, American Fidelity
- Kevin Karpinski – Partner, Karpinski, Cornbrooks & Karp, PA
Date/Time: Friday, August 16, 2024; 2:15 pm – 3:15 pm
