Bill > HB712

This bill establishes a family and medical leave insurance (FMLI) program in New Hampshire. The key provisions are: - Employers must remit FMLI premium payments of 0.5% of wages per employee per week, which can be partially withheld from employee wages. - Eligible employees can receive up to 12 weeks of FMLI benefits based on their recent employment and wage history, with a weekly benefit amount of 60% of their highest quarterly wages, subject to minimum and maximum amounts. - The FMLI program will be administered by the Department of Employment Security, which can adjust premium rates and benefit levels as needed to ensure solvency of the FMLI fund. - The bill also expands the existing Unemployment Compensation Advisory Council to include oversight of the FMLI program.
