Why Get FMLA Leave in Colorado?
Colorado FAMLI pays a percentage of your wages for up to 12 weeks, with up to 16 weeks available for pregnancy-related complications.
FAMLI covers additional family members, including siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and in-laws — more than federal FMLA.
FAMLI applies to nearly all Colorado workers, even those at very small employers.

Colorado FMLA Laws & Your Rights Explained
Colorado’s Paid Family & Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program applies to almost all employees, even if your employer has only one worker. This means far more people qualify for protected medical or family leave compared to federal FMLA alone.
Unlike federal FMLA, which is unpaid, Colorado’s FAMLI program pays a percentage of your weekly wages—up to 90%—for up to 12 weeks of leave. Workers with pregnancy complications may receive up to 16 weeks.
Colorado FAMLI allows you to take leave to care for a wider range of relatives, including siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and in-laws. Federal FMLA only covers spouse, child, and parent.
To qualify for Colorado FAMLI, you only need to have earned $2,500 in Colorado during the base period. This is far more inclusive than federal FMLA’s 12-month tenure and 1,250-hour work requirement.
Colorado provides up to 12 weeks of paid leave through FAMLI, plus an additional 4 weeks for pregnancy-related health conditions. This can extend your total leave far beyond the 12 unpaid weeks provided under federal FMLA.
We help Colorado employees get the required medical documentation for both FMLA and FAMLI—completed accurately and quickly through an online visit with a licensed Colorado physician.
How Do You Qualify for FMLA in Colorado?
You may qualify for:
FMLA (job protection) if you meet federal rules.
FAMLI (paid leave) if you earned $2,500+ in Colorado.
We help you determine which programs apply to your situation. We only complete FMLA forms and at this time do not support completing paid family leave forms.
