The Colorado Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) is effective January 1, 2023. Colorado refers to the program as FAMLI.

General information about the PFML premium

• The 2023 Colorado FLI premium is 0.45% of the employee's gross wages.
• The 2023 Colorado ERFLI employer rate when not exempt is 0.45%, for a total rate of 0.9%.
• Employers with 10 or more employees are responsible for paying the 0.45% employer share.
• Employers with fewer than 10 employees are not required to pay the employer share.

How Accounting CS calculates the PFML premium

By default, Accounting CS withholds the full combined Paid Family Medical Leave contribution, split between the employee and employer.

• If a client wishes to pay all of the employee portion of the premium, mark the Employer pays full employee PFML share checkbox in the Payroll Taxes tab of the Setup > Clients screen.
• If the client is an employer with fewer than 10 employees and chooses not to pay the employer portion of the contribution, you can mark the Wage exempt checkbox for the employer portion of the contribution in the Payroll Taxes tab of the Setup > Clients screen.

Registration

My FAMLI+ Employer is the online employer services portal Colorado businesses, third-party administrators (TPAs), and local government employers will use to manage their FAMLI accounts. Most Colorado businesses will need to register in My FAMLI+ Employer before reporting wages and making payments.

After a client has been registered, they will receive a Colorado FAMLI ID from the Department of Labor and Employment. This account ID can be entered into the FAMLI ID field in the Additional Information dialog (accessed from the Payroll Taxes tab of the Setup > Clients screen).

• The FAMLI ID is a 10 digit number formatted as ########## and allows leading zeroes.
• The FAMLI ID, if entered, will be included in the CO-PFML Worksheet and electronic file as well as the addenda record of the ACH credit payment file.

Colorado Paid Family and Medical Leave Worksheet

We have provided Form CO-PFML Worksheet (Reconciliation worksheet), which can be used as a source for manual data entry into My FAMLI+ Employer, or to create an electronic file that can be transmitted to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment through the Actions > Process Electronic Forms screen.
