Does Vermont have paid family leave?
Vermont does not have a mandatory state paid family leave program. Vermont operates a voluntary Family and Medical Leave Insurance plan in partnership with The Hartford (launched 2023). State employees receive coverage automatically; private employers and individuals can opt in. Benefits provide partial wage replacement during qualifying leave events. Eligible workers may still qualify for unpaid leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which provides up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave per year for qualifying events. Some employers offer their own paid parental or family-leave policies as a benefit; check your employee handbook or HR portal.
