South Carolina S0010 amends paid parental leave policies for state employees.

South Carolina S0010 amends the South Carolina Code to increase the number of weeks for paid parental leave for state employees. Eligible state employees who give birth are entitled to twelve weeks of paid parental leave, while other eligible state employees are entitled to four weeks. Paid parental leave may be taken concurrently, consecutively, or at different times if both parents are eligible state employees. Legal holidays do not count against paid parental leave. The Division of Human Resources of the Department of Administration will implement this change.
