Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Poster
Required
The Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Poster is a labor law posters poster by the Washington Department Of Labor & Industries. This is a mandatory posting for all employers in Washington, and businesses who fail to comply may be subject to fines or sanctions.
This mandatory Washington poster provides employees with information about Washington's Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) law, which provides paid leave for personal medical issues, caring for a family member, certain military situations, and bonding with a new child.
This law applies to all employers and covers full-time and part-time employees. Eligible employees can receive up to 12 weeks of paid leave within a 12-month period for their own serious health condition or to care for a family member, as well as two additional weeks of leave for the birth, adoption, or placement of a child for foster care.
The amount of leave is based on the employee's wage and work hours. This poster summarizes the amount of wage benefits available, and premiums collected from employee's wages. Employers must provide this leave to eligible employees and cannot discriminate or retaliate against employees for taking it.

Dear Employer, Paid Leave premium rates are changing starting Jan 1, 2024. Premiums, collected from employees and employers through quarterly repor\ ting, fund the Paid Leave program. By law, we recalculate the Paid Leave premium rate annually in early October. We adjust the premium rate based on premiums contributed and benefits paid during the previous year. Starting Jan. 1, 2024 • The total premium rate will decrease to 0.74% . • Employers will pay 28.57% of the total premium and employees will pay 71.43% . • Businesses classified by the Employment Security Department as having fewer than 50 employees for the 2024 calendar year are not required to pay the employer portion of the premiu\ m. However, you still need to collect the employee premium or pay employees’ premiums on their behalf. Next steps • Notify your employees that you will begin collecting the new rate on Jan\ . 1, 2024. An updated employer toolkit, mandatory poster and paycheck insert are available in the Paid Leave Help Center at paidleave.wa.gov/help- center/employers . • On Jan. 1, 2024, start collecting the new premium rate each pay period from your employees’ total gross wages, not including tips. Once an employee meets the Social Security cap, you need to stop collecting premiums but continue to report their wages. The Social Security cap for the 2024 calendar year will increase to $168,600. • First quarter premiums using the new rate are due by the end of April 20\ 24. Remember: You cannot retroactively withhold premiums from your employees. Learn more on our website We will have more updated resources available at paidleave.wa.gov for you and your employees before the end of the year, including an updated premium estimator, premium rate calculations \ and more reporting information. Stay tuned! Thank you, Paid Family and Medical Leave
