PMFL - Action Needed - Prior to November 10

We know you are getting a lot of information on the Paid Family Medical Leave Act (PMFLA).

We have just recorded a Webex session that provides a quick overview of the Paid Leave Law. You can access the Paid Leave Law Webinar here: WEBINAR LINK and the Powerpoint is attached.

By November 10th, we need to ensure that you go in and sign up to be the Paid Leave Administrator. Once completed, they will need to assign access to Shari and Scott. This process is very similar to the MN Unemployment system. In the new system, we will need to select that the School is opting for private insurance.

To setup your account:

• Head to: https://www1.uimn.org/ui_employer/ui/employer/login

• On My Home Page, select Paid Leave. If you cannot see this link- you are not the MNUI Administrator

  • 

• Select Designate Paid Leave administrator.

  • 

• Leave the fields blank to display a list of all active users on this account, and then select Search.

  • 

    Note: All active users on the account will display, regardless of whether they have the Paid Leave Administrator role assigned to them or not.

• Select the User ID of the person you want to add as a Paid Leave Administrator. You can add as many Paid Leave Administrators as you like.

  • The MAIN administrator should be someone at the school. NOT EDFIN.

    
    
    
    

    Note: If the person you want to designate as the Paid Leave Administrator role is not listed, you must first add them as a user on this account.

  • 
  • 

  • The Paid Leave administrator(s) you designate will receive emailed instructions to sign in to your Paid Leave Administrator account on the Minnesota Paid Leave website.

Setting up Your Election for November 10, 2025:

• Once you are invited to the PMFL website setup your account: https://paidleave.mn.gov/users/verify-account

• If you are electing a private plan- i.e. METLIFE you must check this box and make your request:

  • 

  • Information you will need to have includes the following:

For the January 15 payroll, we will implement a 50-50 deduction split between the Employee (EE) and Employer (ER). If the rate is 0.86%, we will apply a 0.43% deduction for both the EE and ER. If an employee earns $50,000 per year, this would translate to approximately $8.75 per paycheck. If you would like a different ratio, please let us know otherwise.

Thanks!
