PART A - EMPLOYEE INFORMATION (to be completed by employee)
Paid Family Leave (PFL) Request (to be completed by the employee)
Employment Information (to be completed by the employee)
The employee requesting PFL must complete all required information.
Question 13: If dates are “Continuous”, the employee must provide
the start and end dates of the requested PFL. These dates should be
the actual dates that the PFL will begin and end. If uncertain, estimate
the start and end dates and indicate “Dates are estimated”. If dates are
“Periodic”, enter the dates PFL will be taken. Please be as specic as
possible. If the dates are unknown or estimated, indicate “Dates are
estimated”.
If dates are estimated, the PFL carrier may require you to submit a
request for payment after the PFL day is taken. Payment for approved
claims will be due as soon as possible but in no event more than 18 days
from the date of the completed request.
Question 14: If the employee is submitting the PFL request to their
employer with less than 30 days’ advance notice from the start date of
the PFL, the employee must explain why 30 days’ notice could not be
given. If the explanation will not t in the space provided on the form,
enter “See Attached” and add an attachment with the explanation. Be
sure to include the employee’s full name and their date of birth at the top
of the attachment.
Question 16: Enter the date of hire to the best of the employee’s
recollection. If it has been more than a year since the date of hire,
entering the year in which employment started is sufcient.
Question 18: Enter the best estimate of average gross weekly wage.
Include only the wages earned from the employer listed on this request
form. The gross weekly wage is the total weekly pay - including
overtime, tips, bonuses and commissions - before any deductions
are made by the employer, such as federal and state taxes. If the
employer is not able to supply this information, the employee can
calculate their gross weekly wage as follows:
Step 1: Add all gross wages received (before any deductions) over
the last eight weeks prior to the start of PFL, including overtime and
tips earned. (See Step 3 for instructions for calculating bonuses and/
or commissions.)
Step 2: Divide the gross wages calculated in step one by eight
(or the number of weeks worked if less than eight) to calculate the
average weekly wage.
Step 3: If the employee received bonuses and/or commissions
during the 52 weeks preceding PFL, add the prorated weekly amount
to the average weekly wage. To determine the prorated weekly
amount, add all bonuses/commissions earned in the preceding 52
weeks and then divide by 52.
Example of a gross weekly wage calculation:
Please note that the employer is also required to provide this information
in Part B of the Request For Paid Family Leave (Form PFL-1).
