Seyfarth Shaw LLP

Paid family leave and other paid time off developments continue to change at exceptional rates. Part VII of the Seyfarth Paid Family Leave Webinar Series examines the state of paid family and medical leave laws in Colorado, Oregon and Washington. Contributions for the Colorado and Oregon paid family and medical leave programs begin in just a few short months on January 1, 2023. Benefits subsequently become available in September 2023 for eligible Oregon workers and in January 2024 for eligible Colorado workers. Both jurisdictions, as well as Washington State, have undergone recent rulemaking developments that impact program procedures, substantive requirements, and employer obligations. 

Topics that will be covered during the webinar include:

• Overview of the current nationwide paid family leave law landscape.
• Colorado PFML discussion that will examine recent rulemaking, forthcoming rulemaking, upcoming deadlines in 2023 and 2024, and high level substantive details and employer obligations.
