Paid parental leave eligibility extended to state employees for birth or fostering of a child.
The bill amends the South Carolina Code to expand the definition of "eligible state employee" to include those employed by the state, its departments, agencies, or institutions, and four-year or postgraduate institutions of higher education. It defines "paid parental leave" as six weeks at full pay or two weeks at full pay, prorated for part-time employees. Qualifying events for leave include the birth of a biological child or fostering a child in state custody. The act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
