With the growing number of statutory state laws, it can be a daunting task to decide what type of paid family and medical leave (PFML) plan makes the most sense. Employers have a lot to consider, including but not limited to, cost, employee experience, and state private plan requirements. In this session, we'll discuss employer responsibilities for state plans and private plans, and how employers make decisions on whether or not to offer a private PFML program. We'll also provide suggestions for how to ensure the best private plan experience if you choose that option for your organization.

• Identify the key factors employers consider when deciding whether to have a state or private paid family and medical leave plan.
• Learn employer obligations with a state plan versus a private plan.
• Understand private plan requirements.
