• Introducing the New Paid Catholic Family and Medical Leave Program - recorded webinar

The new paid Catholic Family and Medical Leave Program (CFML) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks (2-week waiting period plus 10 weeks of paid leave, at up to 80% of pay) of family and/or medical leave in a benefit year.   Archdiocese parishes, schools, cemeteries, and the Pastoral Center are required to participate in the CFML program. Employees of other Catholic entities should check with their local benefits/payroll administrator to confirm whether their employer participates in the program.   

The CFML program offers two levels of benefits:  Baseline CFML (40% of an employee’s pay, funded by employer only) and Full CFML (additional 40% of employee’s pay, for a total of up to 80%, funded by voluntary employee payroll deductions of 0.57% of wages). If employees prefer not to contribute to the CFML program, they will only be eligible for the Baseline benefit (funded solely by their employer) after completing one year of CFML service.
