Sun Life US has broadened its Family Leave Insurance coverage to three additional states - Arizona, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania, increasing its reach to a total of 14 states. Prior to this expansion, the insurance firm was providing Family Leave Insurance in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. The Family Leave Insurance is a significant step towards boosting access to paid leave benefits in the states that do not have compulsory paid family leave programs. Employers can offer this cover without having to find self-funded solutions. In the US, paid family leave (PFL) policies are improving, propelled by state-level expansions and legislative efforts, although access remains unequal. The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 allows eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave. However, many employees still lack paid leave during crucial family or medical situations. Sun Life reports that it has been supportive of paid leave initiatives, working to include private plan options alongside state-mandated programs and advocating proposals for the extension of employer federal paid leave tax credits. Sun Life’s Family Leave Insurance aligns with the tax credit and adjusts according to any future modifications. Sun Life’s Family Leave Insurance, available to all eligible employees regardless of their state of residence, offers a completely insured option to assist small and medium-sized employers in managing the financial aspects of providing paid leave.
