Requires certain employers to provide unpaid and paid leave of absence for victims of workplace violence or threat of workplace violence. Expands the type of certification an employee may provide to an employer if the leave exceeds five days per calendar year.
HB 1268 would expand family leave eligibility to cover an employee's domestic partner and the child of an employee's domestic partner. Currently, most family leave laws focus on blood relatives or spouses; this bill explicitly adds domestic partners and their children to the list of protected individuals. The key change is broadening who qualifies for leave under existing family leave policies, directly affecting employees in domestic partnerships who need time off for partner or partner-related family care. This is a policy update to the current leave framework, not yet enacted.
Establishes a paid family leave program for state and county employees. Authorizes a qualifying employee to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave for the birth or placement of a child or to care for a family member who has a serious health condition. Requires the employee to agree to subsequently work for the employer for at least 12 weeks upon return to service except under certain conditions.
Requires certain employers to provide administrative leave of absence for victims of workplace violence or threat of workplace violence. Expands the type of certification an employee may provide to an employer if the leave exceeds five days per calendar year.
