Bill Summary
This bill proposes to prohibit employers from requiring employees to take parental and family leave for a compensable work-related injury or illness.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to modify the Parental and Family Leave Act by prohibiting employers from mandating that employees use their parental and family leave for a work-related injury or illness that is compensable. While the provided XML document lacks the specific legal text showing the exact changes, the government summary suggests the bill aims to protect employees' ability to use parental and family leave for personal family needs, rather than being forced to use those leave benefits when they are injured or become ill at work. This would likely mean that if an employee is hurt on the job and is eligible for workers' compensation, they would not be required to simultaneously use their parental or family leave time, thus preserving those leave days for their intended purpose of bonding with a new child or caring for family members.
