Paid Family Leave (PFL) income is money you receive from your employer, an insurer, or the government while you are away from work for an extended period of time so you can recover from a serious health issue, take care of a seriously ill family member, or bond with your newborn or newly adopted child.
Here Is A Quick Way To Differentiate Between Sick Pay And Paid Family Leave:
- Sick pay is usually reserved for short, health-related absences, for example a cold or flu, staying home to care for a child who is normally in school, or recovering from minor outpatient or dental procedures.
- Paid Family Leave, on the other hand, relates to a paid absence from work for an extended period of time, for a qualifying reason.
- However, third-party sick pay differs from regular sick pay in that it is paid by somebody other than the employer (usually an insurance company that specializes in this kind of coverage for employers).
