Issue/Symptom/Question

How do I set up Delaware Paid Leave (DE-PFL, DE-PML, DE-PPL)?

Applies To

PENTA for Windows

Payroll > Setup > Taxes > Payroll Tax Maintenance

Resolution/Fix/Answer

These new tax types will be available with the 2024 EOY Tax Kit.

Delaware Paid Family Leave, Paid Medical Leave. and Paid Parental Leave are state mandated taxes on employers and employees up to an annual limit. For details please visit Delaware Paid Leave Is Coming - Delaware Department of Labor

In order for PENTA to calculate the taxes correctly and not have any errors during payroll processing, the DE-PFL, DE-PML, and DE-PPL taxes need to be set up:

  • Navigate to the Payroll Tax Maintenance window and query Tax Types DE-PFL, DE-PML, and DE-PPL

  • Review the General tab according to the tax regulation - see DE-PML example below:

  • Update the Rates tab

    • State/Province will be DE

    • Earnings limit and rates must be set. You need to look up the limit and rates and set appropriately. PENTA does not maintain the limit and rates.
