The Department of Employment Services (DOES), the agency responsible for implementing DC’s new paid family and medical leave program, has released a second set of proposed regulations outline program administration for paid leave tax collections. You can find these proposed tax collection regulations online.

Tax collection regulations primarily impact District employers and self-employed individuals. The public is invited to comment on these regulations; submissions are due to DOES by August 5, 2018. Email does.opfl@dc.gov to submit your comments.

The DC Paid Family Leave Coalition is still analyzing these updated regulations and preparing guidance for comments. If you would like to submit comments but need support doing so, please let me know by emailing joanna@jufj.org and I will share guidance as soon as it is available.
