Bill Summary
This bill requires a state employee to be provided up to three days of paid leave following the death of an employee’s parent, child, or spouse. Under current rules of the department of administrative services, a state employee may use accrued sick leave, not to exceed a total of 40 hours per fiscal year, when a death occurs in the immediate family, as defined by rule (11 IAC 63.3(11)).
AI Summary
This bill introduces a new provision requiring state employees in Iowa to receive up to three days of paid bereavement leave when a parent, child, or spouse passes away. Currently, state employees can use accrued sick leave for family deaths, limited to 40 hours per fiscal year, but this bill establishes a specific bereavement leave entitlement. By creating a dedicated paid leave category for mourning immediate family members, the bill aims to provide state employees with dedicated time to grieve and manage affairs after losing a close family member without depleting their existing sick leave. The bill adds a new section (Section 70A.24) to the state employment regulations, ensuring that employees have a clear, guaranteed right to paid time off during a difficult personal loss.
