SB1241

Pennsylvania SB1241 establishes a mandatory statewide paid parental leave program for eligible employees, including protections and rights, and sets.

Pennsylvania SB1241 mandates that employers provide at least 12 weeks of paid parental leave to eligible employees, defined as those who have been employed for at least 12 months and performed at least 1,250 hours of service in the previous 12 months. The leave can be used for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child. Eligible employees retain the same protections and rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act, including protection from discrimination and interference, the right to reinstatement, and the right to continuation of health care benefits.
