by Intuit• Updated 2 months ago
Learn how to set up QuickBooks Payroll to track paid family and medical leave in Delaware.
The state of Delaware has implemented a new Paid Family and Medical Leave program. Payroll contributions to the program will begin on January 1, 2025. With QuickBooks Payroll, you can set up this insurance for your covered employees. If you have full service payroll, we'll pay and file this tax for you.

How Delaware Paid Family Leave works
Employers will need to register for a PFML account using Delaware’s Labor First portal, which is scheduled to launch soon. Details on the website can be found on the Labor First website https://labor.delaware.gov/laborfirst. You will be assigned an 8 digit PFML account number.
All Delaware employers without a private plan and 10 or more employees working (or reclassified) in Delaware must contribute to the program. See the breakdown here:
- 9 or fewer employees are exempt
- 10 to 24 employees are only required to provide parental leave only
- 25 for more employees are required to provide full coverage
Parental leave benefits: 0.32% of wages
Medical leave benefits: 0.4% of wages
Family caregiving benefits: 0.08% of wages
Employers are responsible for all contributions required by the program, but can deduct up to 50% of the required contributions from their employee’s wages.
