PART A - EMPLOYEE INFORMATION (to be completed by the employee)
Paid Family Leave (PFL) Request (to be completed by the employee)
Employment Information (to be completed by the employee)
Question 12: A child is dened as a biological, adopted,
or foster son or daughter, a stepson or stepdaughter, a
legal ward, a son or daughter of a domestic partner, or the
person to whom the employee stands in loco parentis. A
parent is dened as a biological, foster, or adoptive parent,
parent-in-law, a stepparent, a legal guardian, or other
person who stood in loco parentis to the employee when
the employee was a child.
Questions 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,
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:
Week 1 - Gross wage including overtime $550
Week 2 - Gross wage $500
Week 3 - Gross wage $500
Week 4 - Gross wage $500
Week 5 - Gross wage $500
Week 6 - Gross wage $500
Week 7 - Gross wage, including overtime $600
Week 8 - Gross wage, including overtime + $550
Total = $4,200
Divide by 8 ÷ 8
Average Weekly Wage = $525
Bonus earned in preceding 52 weeks $2,600
Divide by 52 ÷ 52
Prorated Weekly Bonus = $50
The employee requesting PFL must complete all required information.
