In plain language

Allows employees to take paid family leave in four-hour increments.

This bill lets employees take paid family leave in smaller, four-hour slots instead of full days. It also states that if an employee works more than one four-hour increment in a day, they won't receive family leave benefits.

What this means for you
  • Workers: This means you can take family leave in shorter blocks, but working more than one four-hour shift in a day disqualifies you for that leave.

Summary

Permits paid family leave in four-hour increments; prohibits family leave benefits from being payable if an employee works more than one four-hour increment in one day.
