Why does the employer need the DI or PFL benefit information?
The employer needs the DI or PFL benefit information to ensure the accurate amount of wages are paid by the employer to the employee during a period of disability or family care leave. For example: An employee’s current gross weekly wage is $500.00. The weekly benefit amount from PFL is $275.00. The $500 minus $275 equals a $225 per week wage loss. Consequently, the employer can coordinate/integrate a maximum amount of $225.00 per week in gross wages to the employee, resulting in the employee receiving 100% of their normal weekly gross pay.
