Establishes paid family leave for Hawaii state and county employees.
The bill establishes paid family leave for Hawaii state and county employees, allowing them to take up to five days of paid leave annually for purposes such as birth, adoption, fostering a child, or caregiving for a family member during illness. This leave does not affect seniority, pay, vacation, sick leave, or earned overtime accumulations. The leave is intended to enhance recruitment and retention of quality employees, reduce employment turnover, and support family care, which is seen as an investment in the state and counties' success.
