A bill for an act relating to government employee paid leave.

This bill modifies Iowa state employee paid leave policies. It allows most state employees (excluding some faculty and public safety workers under collective bargaining) to convert unused sick leave into vacation time: after four years, they need 30 unused sick days to get half a day of extra vacation, while during the first four years they only need 10 unused sick days. It also adds new paid parental leave: birth parents get up to four weeks, non-birthing parents get one week, all within 12 months of a child's birth or adoption. The Department of Administrative Services must create rules to implement these changes.
