Advocacy and business groups have called for a three-month delay in payroll taxes needed to fund the new paid family and medical leave program.
Companies that offer workers a family and medical leave plan that is at least as generous as the benefits that will be provided by the new state program can now apply for an exemption from the payroll tax contributions the state plans to begin collecting July 1.
Employers that already offer paid leave benefits to their workers will be able to apply beginning next month for an exemption from having to collect, remit and pay the new tax intended to fund a state paid family and medical leave program.
