On February 11, 2018, the Maryland Healthy Working Families Act went into effect. Since then, the Maryland Office of Small Business Regulatory Assistance has received more than 2,000 emails from employers and employees with specific questions about complying with the law. The most common of these questions were compiled into a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document. As employers delved deeper into implementation, they asked new questions. The revised FAQ, available at www.dllr.maryland.gov/paidleave, provides answers to these questions.
In addition to the revised FAQs, the Maryland Department of Labor issued an employee notice poster and model policies for employee handbooks or other employee benefits documents.
These documents will assist employers with compliance. Responses are preliminary and subject to change. For additional information, please see the Maryland Healthy Working Families Act Information (http://www.dllr.maryland.gov/paidleave/).
Call to Action: Employers with employees in Maryland should review their policies, forms, practices, and supervisor training to ensure compliance with the Maryland Healthy Working Families Act. Please contact your Service Team with any questions.
