On June 25, 2019, Governor Ned Lamont signed Public Act 19-25, “An Act Concerning Paid Family and Medical Leave” (the Act) into law, setting the wheels in motion for the most generous paid family and medical leave benefit in the United States. The Act substantially amends the existing Connecticut Family and Medical Leave Act (CTFMLA), expanding coverage to all employees, reducing the waiting period for eligibility, and requiring compensation of employees on leave.
