Expanding New Hampshire's paid family and medical leave program to provide wage replacement benefits.

The bill introduces the New Hampshire Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act, expanding the state's paid family and medical leave program. It provides wage replacement benefits for employees taking leave for family and medical reasons, including childbirth, care of a family member with a serious health condition, and the employee's own serious health condition. The program allows for intermittent or reduced schedule leave, with benefits prorated accordingly. Employers must contribute to the Family and Medical Leave Insurance Fund, and employees can elect coverage.
