How it works

RI’s TCI paid leave program helps you afford to take time off from work

TCI provides up to four weeks of partial wage replacement and protects your job and seniority while you are home providing care. As long as your paycheck shows TDI/TCI payroll deductions, TCI benefits are your benefits to use.

  • Care for a seriously ill child, spouse, domestic partner, parent, parent-in-law, or grandparent
  • Bond with a newborn child, adopted child, or foster child

Note about TDI: If you are a sick or injured worker you may be eligible for paid leave through TDI (Temporary Disability Insurance). Click here for more information.
