How much will my employee get paid while on leave?

Your employee will receive up to 90 percent of their weekly pay—up to the maximum weekly benefit amount, which is updated yearly.

Paid time off (PTO) reduces employees’ weekly benefit amount. If a worker receives wages or paid time off at the same time as Paid Family and Medical Leave, it will reduce their benefit payment, unless the paid time off is designated a “supplemental benefit.”

• Paid time off is vacation leave, personal leave, holiday, medical leave, sick leave, compensatory leave or any other paid leave offered by an employer under their established policy.

Maximum weekly benefit amounts. The maximum weekly benefits for 2020 – 2024 are:

• 2024 = $1,456/week
• 2023 = $1,427/week 
• 2022 = $1,327/week
• 2021 = $1,206/week
• 2020 = $1,000/week

The maximum weekly benefit amount won’t change for employees who apply for or begin their leave in 2023 and whose claims continue into a new calendar year.
