Good news! You’ve successfully submitted your paid-leave claim and have started taking time away from work in order to care for yourself or a loved one. Now you want to know what your pay replacement will look like.

Colorado’s new Family and Medical Leave Insurance Division issued its first benefit payments this week. If you selected direct deposit as your payment option, FAMLI’s payments to your banking institution should arrive in your account within 24 hours or up to 72 hours depending on your bank.

Colorado employers are required to update their total employee headcount every year.

This annual reporting task will ensure that employers aren’t charged incorrect premiums each quarter when they contribute to the State’s new Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) fund.

Just like there is more than one reason to need to step away from the office, Colorado has different laws governing employee leave and sick time.

Making sense of it all gets complicated. Starting August 7, 2023, Colorado’s Healthy Families and Workplaces Act (HFWA) expands to give Colorado employees more access to use accrued paid sick leave.
