  • Up to 6 weeks of leave taken at one time, or Paid intermittent leave (when you need leave in 4-hour increments)
  • All claims are subject to a 7-day waiting period prior to benefits being paid

Possible Covered Leave Reasons:

  • For your own health (serious health condition, childbirth)
  • For your family’s needs (child bonding, qualifying need arising from military deployment or service, caring for a qualifying military service member)

*Please see the benefit plan information below for more details on potential reasons for coverage as well as exclusions

 

What it Costs:

There will be a small weekly premium that enrolled employees will pay. Techneeds, LLC will contribute 60% of the weekly Premium with the employee paying the remaining 40%.

  • Example: Employee A earns $600 for weekly check. The NH PFML deduction from their paycheck would be $0.94 for that week.   

All temporary staffing employees that have completed a 30-day waiting period are eligible for coverage following their 30th day of employment OR they may enroll during an Open Enrollment period for coverage on January 1st.
