Program Description:

The Maryland Healthy Working Families Act went into effect February 11 with a lot of questions still left unanswered. While the new law places additional administrative burdens on employers, there are also some advantages as well. The Act will have an impact on every Maryland employer in some way, so it is critical to understand your obligations under the new law.

Join Baltimore WEB and Miles & Stockbridge on March 1st as we review national trends in paid leave, the specifics of the MD Healthy Working Families Act and explore opportunities for employers to take advantage of tax credits included in the recently passed federal tax bill.
