Bill > A893

This bill provides employment protections for certain medical professionals, such as physicians, nurses, and therapists, who are diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) under certain conditions. The bill prohibits employers from discriminating or retaliating against these employees for taking or requesting leave related to their PTSD diagnosis. It also requires employers to reinstate these employees to their previous positions and duties after a period of leave, provided their fitness to return to work has been documented by a licensed physician or mental health professional. The bill establishes a civil action process for employees to seek remedies, including reinstatement, compensation for lost wages, and civil fines for employers who violate the provisions of the bill.
