What information is shared with me while my employee is on leave?

Senate Bill 5586 made changes to Paid Leave’s privacy provisions. Starting Jan. 1, 2024, employers will have access to information about their employees on leave if they:

• Have completed the PIN process and have full access to their employer account,
• Have the ‘Benefit Claims’ user role or are an ‘Account Administrator’, and
• Are marked as a ‘current employer’ in a benefit application or during a weekly claim.

What information is shared:

• Employee name
• Benefit Claim ID number
• Application date and requested leave dates
• Leave type (Medical or Family)
• Decision and approved leave dates
• Our decisions on that employee’s submitted weekly claims:
  • WW = Waiting week
  • Yes = Approved and paid week
  • No = Denied or unpaid

How to access this information

Log in to your employer account and select the “Benefit Claims” tab. This will open a page called “Your Employees’ Benefit Claim information” which includes information about your employees’ benefit applications and weekly claims.

This information is not available in employer agent accounts.

What information is not shared:

Our law protects:

• Employee health information,
• The reason they applied for leave,
• Their weekly benefit amount,
• Their payment amounts,
• Their hours used,
• If the claim is currently being redetermined or appealed, or
• If there are any other employers associated with their account or leave.

Employees can share this information with you if they choose.
