Employers need to educate their workers and stay up-to-date on changes in Connecticut’s new Paid Family Medical Leave Act to avoid pitfalls that could result in expensive penalties, HR consulting firm Mercer warned at an event on Wednesday.
More than 300 registered for a Mercer webcast on the new leave program, which required employers to start withholding employee contributions on Jan. 1. The deduction was set at 0.5% of the first $142,800 of wages, with most employees eligible, including part-time and seasonal workers.
Although employees pay for the new program through their contributions, employers are responsible for administering it and should consider third-party vendors as the task becomes more complex, said Rich Fuerstenberg, a senior partner at Mercer.
