Bill > HB05762

This bill requires employers to provide additional accommodations for employees who are taking leave under the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program (PFML), with a specific emphasis on offering remote work options to enable employees to continue performing their job duties while on leave. The bill amends Chapter 31 of the general statutes to mandate that employers be flexible in supporting employees who are utilizing PFML, which is a government-sponsored program that provides paid time off for workers who need to care for a family member, address their own serious health condition, or attend to certain life events. By specifically mentioning a remote work option, the bill aims to give employees more flexibility in managing their professional responsibilities while addressing personal or family medical needs, potentially reducing the financial and professional strain associated with taking extended leave.
