The State of Colorado has provided a chart to walk employees through the leave benefits that might be available for different situations.
FAMLI Leave
Colorado implemented FAMLI in January 2024 which provides paid family medical leave for eligible Colorado residents. Most Colorado employees become eligible to take paid leave after they have earned at least $2,500 in wages subject to FAMLI premiums, over a period of about a year. ¹ú²úAV has chosen SunLife as our private FAMLI plan administrator. Employees interested in applying for FAMLI benefits will need to apply through SunLife. FAMLI is designed to run concurrently with FMLA. If FAMLI leave is used for a reason that also qualifies as leave under FMLA, then the leave also counts as FMLA leave.
