What Every Employer Needs to Know Before January 1, 2027
Maryland employers have a significant new compliance requirement on the horizon. Beginning January 1, 2027, employers with at least one W-2 employee will be required to participate in Maryland's Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program, providing paid family and medical leave benefits to eligible employees.
Join us for an informative session designed to help business owners, HR professionals, payroll administrators, and management teams understand what these changes mean for their organizations. Our presenter will explain the FAMLI program requirements, review state and private plan options, discuss employer compliance obligations, and provide guidance on selecting the most cost-effective and administratively efficient solution for your business.
Topics will include:
- Who is required to participate in the FAMLI program
- Key deadlines and implementation timelines
- Employer and employee premium requirements
- State plan versus private plan alternatives
- Compliance and administrative responsibilities
- Strategies to minimize costs and streamline administration
- Questions and answers with industry experts
Who Should Attend: Business owners, company leaders, HR professionals, payroll administrators, office managers, and anyone responsible for employee benefits or compliance.
