The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s Division of Family and Medical Leave Insurance (“Division”) has opened enrollment to the employer services portal for businesses, third-party administrators, and local government employers to manage their accounts under Colorado’s Paid Family and Medical Leave (“FAMLI”) program.

The platform operates similar to employers’ unemployment insurance (a.k.a. My UI Employer) accounts, allowing employers to report wage data, remit premium payments, submit private plan exemption requests, and upload letters of declination.

While substantive leave rights need not be provided to employees until 2024, the first premium payments are due not later than April 30, 2023. Most employers must register for the platform by this date, regardless of whether they intend to opt out with a private plan.

The Division has published the following registration checklist outlining the information employers will need to submit to register.

• Contact information for the primary administrator of the account and a second authentication method. The person completing the registration process for your My FAMLI+ Employer account will be the primary account administrator and will need to set up multi-factor authentication to log in.
• Your business’s legal name.
• Your business’s federal employer identification number (FEIN).
• Your business’s primary location address and the mailing address (if different from the primary location).
• Your total employee headcount to determine your premium liability (count the number of employees on payroll for a total of 20 or more calendar workweeks in the preceding calendar year).
• The name and email address for any additional users you’d like to have access to your My FAMLI+ Employer account. Additional users can also be added after registration.
