Paid parental leave pilot program for state employees to care for newborn or adopted child.
West Virginia HB5083 establishes a paid parental leave pilot program for state employees to care for a newborn or adopted child. The program allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave within a 12-month period, with benefits set at 90% of their average weekly wage, up to $1,000 per week. The leave can be used during the first 12 months after a child’s birth or adoption. Employers must continue group health insurance coverage for employees on leave, and employees must return to their previous position or an equivalent one.
