South Carolina bill H3645 proposes paid parental leave for state employees, with longer leave for those giving birth.
South Carolina bill H3645 amends the state code to provide paid parental leave for eligible state employees. Employees who give birth are entitled to six to twelve weeks of paid leave, while other eligible employees receive two to four weeks. Leave is prorated for part-time employees. The leave does not count against annual or sick leave balances and must be taken consecutively. The entitlement expires at the end of the twelve-month period after the qualifying event. The Division of Human Resources will implement the provisions.
