Paid Family and Medical Leave Benefits Handbook Statement: Connecticut

Connecticut Paid Leave is a state-run paid family and medical leave (PFML) program administered by the Connecticut Paid Leave Authority (PLA) that provides partial wage replacement to eligible employees who are unable to work for certain qualifying reasons. The amount of PFML available to employees is calculated on a "benefit year" basis, which is defined as the period of 12 consecutive months rolling backward from the first day of PFML benefits.

PFML benefits are funded by an employee contribution made through payroll deductions. The payroll deduction amount is set by the PLA as a percentage of an employee's eligible wages and may be adjusted periodically.
