Paid Family Leave

Employers can offer the state-run PFL plan funded by employee contributions as a percentage of earnings up to the social security contribution limit. They also can opt out and purchase a private plan to offer all employees.

Employers opting out of the state plan must apply and receive approval from the CT Paid Leave Authority to use a private plan.

Pay Transparency

In effect since Oct. 1, 2021, employers within the state employing one or more employees even if such employees are located outside the state must comply with the Connecticut pay transparency law.

Must disclose pay range for a position by the time an offer of compensation is extended to an applicant or when the applicant requests, whichever is earlier. Employees are also entitled to know the pay range when changing positions and upon request.
