What is integration/coordination of State Disability Insurance (SDI) (Disability Insurance (DI) or Paid Family Leave (PFL)) benefits?
Integration or coordination of DI or PFL benefits is a process in which the full DI or PFL weekly benefit amount is paid to the employee and the employee is being paid wages from the employer. With this process an employee could potentially receive up to 100% of his/her normal gross weekly wages for the benefit period (provided the employee has leave balances available). For example: An employee’s current gross weekly wage is $500.00. The weekly benefit amount from PFL is $275.00. The $500 minus $275 equals a $225 per week wage loss. Consequently, the employer can coordinate/integrate a maximum amount of $225.00 per week in gross wages to the employee, resulting in the employee receiving 100% of their normal weekly gross pay.
