Iowa HSB78 proposes paid leave for state employees for childbirth or adoption and modifies vacation accrual rules.

Iowa HSB78 amends state employee leave policies. It provides up to four weeks of paid leave for state employees who give birth or adopt a child within a year. Employees who do not give birth but have a child through adoption are entitled to up to one week of paid leave. The Department of Administrative Services must adopt rules to implement this provision. The bill also modifies vacation accrual rules, allowing state employees to elect up to one-half day of additional vacation if they accumulate 30 days of sick leave without using it during a full month of employment.
