Mississippi Paid Family and Medical Leave Act establishes paid leave benefits for state employees.
The Mississippi Paid Family and Medical Leave Act establishes a program allowing state employees to take paid family and medical leave. Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of leave for reasons such as caring for a new child, a serious health condition, or deployment of a family member in the military. The leave is compensated at 100% of the employee's regular salary. The act also allows employees to donate leave to colleagues with catastrophic injuries or illnesses. The Mississippi Department of Employment Security administers the program, which is funded by employee premiums.
