The Catholic Family and Medical Leave Program (CFML) provides eligible employees with up to 10 weeks of CFML benefits following a 2-week waiting period, at up to 80% of pay, for approved family and/or medical leave (in the aggregate) in a benefit year.  

Archdiocese parishes, schools, cemeteries, and the Pastoral Center are required to participate in the CFML program. Employees of other Catholic entities should check with their local benefits/payroll administrator to confirm whether their employer participates in the program.    

The CFML program offers two levels of benefits:  Baseline CFML (40% of an employee’s pay, funded by employer only) and Full CFML (additional 40% of employee’s pay, for a total of up to 80%, funded by voluntary employee payroll deductions of 0.57% of wages). If employees prefer not to contribute to the CFML program, they will only be eligible for the Baseline benefit (funded solely by their employer) after completing one year of CFML-eligible service.   

Please see the CFML Flyer and CFML FAQs for more information. If you have any questions, please contact the Benefits Department at [email protected] or call (617) 746-5640.
