Maryland FAMLI contributions start January 1. The private-plan decision is due November 15.

Every Maryland employer — even with one Maryland employee — must register for FAMLI, decide State Plan vs private plan, configure payroll for the new 0.9% contribution, and notice employees a full pay period before the first deduction. FAMLIReady verifies your registration, computes your exact quarterly cost at your correct rate (0.45% if you're a small employer), drafts the notices, and dates every step. Fixed price. Readiness only — we never file, withhold, or remit for you.

The done-for-you Maryland FAMLI readiness pack — registration verified, plan path decided before the November 15, 2026 private-plan deadline, payroll configured for the January 1, 2027 contribution start, employee notice drafted, and your exact 2027 contribution cost computed. Readiness and documents only — NOT legal or tax advice, NOT a payroll service, NOT a filing.

Pricing — fixed price, paid via Stripe
