Paid Family and Medical Leave

CHPW provides two employer-paid options to support your income during approved medical or family leave:

1. Disability Insurance – Company-paid short-term and long-term disability coverage provides income if you’re unable to work due to illness, injury, or pregnancy.
2. State Paid Leave – Available to employees in WA, OR, CO, and NY. Employees in other states will receive supplemental pay for qualified family or medical leave not covered by short-term disability insurance.
