In an effort to help businesses, on May 1, 2019, the Massachusetts Department of Family and Medical Leave (DFML) extended both the deadline to notify employees about the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave Act (PFMLA) and the deadline for employers to apply for a “private plan” exemption from law. Previously, the DFML required employers to distribute notices to employees regarding the PFMLA by May 31, 2019, and required employers seeking a private plan exemption from the contribution requirements of the PFMLA to apply for an exemption by June 30, 2019.
