The CT Paid Leave Authority strongly urges all businesses to register now and withhold one-half of one percent (0.5%) from worker wages to ensure compliance with Connecticut’s new paid leave law.

Businesses that do not register and make the required payroll deductions can be held responsible for the employee’s contributions. State labor laws limit how much an employer can take from an employee’s paycheck to make up for missed deductions.

Registration takes only a few minutes, and provides businesses access to ongoing information about the program and how it will work.

It’s not too late, but don’t fall behind. We’re here to help!

While first installment payments are not due until April, we understand that many employers and third-party-payroll providers are prepared to begin making payments. The development of this functionality is in its final stages, and will be available in the very near future.

Further updates as to the exact date for the launch of these platform enhancements will be shared across all our communications channels as we complete user testing to ensure all systems are intuitive, accessible and fully-functional.

It is our goal at the CT Paid Leave Authority to provide a user-friendly platform, along with key resources to help you, your business, your workers and their families better understand and navigate the CT Paid Leave program.
