Paid Family Leave Handbook Statement: District of Columbia

District of Columbia Paid Family Leave (DC PFL) is a District-run paid family and medical leave program administered by the District of Columbia's Department of Employment Services, Office of Paid Family Leave (Department) that provides partial wage replacement to eligible employees who are unable to work for certain qualifying reasons. The amount of DC PFL available to employees is calculated on a "benefit year" basis, which is defined as the period of 52 consecutive weeks beginning on the Sunday immediately preceding the first day of DC PFL benefits.

DC PFL benefits are funded by Company contributions.
