Maryland FAMLI: What Farm Employers Need to Know Before January 2027

Description

LAST WEBINAR OPPORTUNITY!

Maryland’s new Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program arrives on Maryland farms in just a few weeks. Join Maryland Farm Bureau and the Maryland Department of Labor’s FAMLI Division on Thursday, November 5 at 7:00 PM ET for a practical look at what the program means for your farm, your family and your employees. Payroll contributions begin January 1, 2027, and paid leave benefits begin in January 2028. Every employer with even one employee working in Maryland has to comply, so the program reaches farms of every size. FAMLI staff will walk through how to register, how the 0.9% contribution is calculated and split, what the small-employer rules mean for operations with fewer than 15 employees, the quarterly reporting and payment schedule, and the notices you’ll owe your workers. There will be time to ask your own questions. Whether you run payroll yourself or work with an accountant, you’ll come away knowing exactly what to do before your first 2027 payroll.
