"Normally", PDFL appears on a W-2 that is NOT from your employer, but comes directly from an insurance company engaged by your employer to cover this.
That is, PFL should appear on a 1099-G from the California EDD (Economic Development Department) or on a W-2 from an insurance company, but NOT from your employer. No box on the W-2 determines that it is PFL.
Sadly, HR department are constantly telling employees that this or that is "PFL", but HR departments don't really understand CA law. When in doubt call the CA EDD who are the department who handles the PFL program.
