On June 1, 2022 Maryland’s Time to Care Act of 2022 (TTCA) took effect. The law establishes an insurance program where Maryland employers and employees, as well as self-employed individuals, contribute to a fund with rates that are determined by the Maryland Department of Labor. The Time to Care Act in Maryland allows an employee to take 12 weeks of paid leave for any medical or family emergency. An employee may take an additional 12 weeks of paid leave in certain circumstances.
