Life Saving Leave Act
HR 3024, the Life Saving Leave Act, amends the Family and Medical Leave Act to provide eligible employees with up to 40 hours of additional unpaid leave per year for bone marrow or blood stem cell donation activities. This leave covers predonation, donation, and postdonation medical care, and can be taken intermittently. Employees may substitute accrued paid leave (like vacation or sick days) for this time, but employers cannot require it. The bill requires employees to give employers at least 30 days' notice (or as soon as practicable if urgent) and to schedule the leave to minimize disruption.
