Summary

As Introduced. Parental leave benefits.

Creates a new program of parental leave benefits for full-time state employees with one or more years of continuous employment with the Commonwealth who (i) are the biological parent of a child under one year of age or (ii) adopt a child under one year of age. The amount of leave would be equivalent to the amount of paid leave awarded to an employee pursuant to short-term disability. The bill provides that if two employees are eligible for benefits for the same child, only one shall claim benefits. The bill provides that if an employee is eligible for both parental leave and maternity leave for the same child, parental leave covers the first six weeks of leave; thereafter, if the employee provides notification to her employer from her physician that she is unable to return to work, she may receive short-term disability benefits.
