Bill > HR2732

This bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) to provide more protection for employees who take parental leave after the birth of a child. Specifically, the bill prohibits employers from recovering health care premiums paid on behalf of an employee if the employee does not return to work following the birth of a child. The legislation requires employers to notify eligible employees who take leave for childbirth that the employer cannot recoup health insurance premiums if the employee does not return to work due to the birth of the child. This change aims to provide greater flexibility and support for new parents, particularly stay-at-home parents, by removing potential financial penalties that might discourage parents from taking time off to care for a newborn. The bill makes these modifications by updating the existing language in Section 104 of the FMLA, adding a new provision that explicitly protects employees from having to repay health care premiums in the event they choose not to return to work after childbirth.
