Paid family and medical leave (PFML) refers to partially or fully compensated time away from work for specific and generally significant family caregiving needs, such as the arrival of a new child or serious illness of a close family member, or an employee’s own serious medical needs. In general, day-to-day needs for leave to attend to family matters.
- Paid family leave allows workers to take time off in order to care for ill family members or a new child. It is also known as “family caregiver leave” and “family leave insurance.”
- Paid medical leave is for taking time off for one’s own serious illness or injury. It is also known as “temporary disability insurance” and “short-term disability.”
