Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to a period of paid leave for preventative health care measures
AI Summary
This bill amends the labor law to require employers to provide employees with at least four hours of paid leave within any 12-month period for preventative health care measures, which can include things like physical examinations, cancer screenings, medical procedures, monitoring, testing, and discussions with a healthcare provider. Employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees for requesting or taking this leave, and the bill clarifies that this new provision does not prevent employers from offering additional leave beyond what is required or affect an employee's existing benefits. The Commissioner of Labor is authorized to create necessary guidelines for implementing this program, such as rules for requesting and approving leave and required documentation.
