Comprehensive Paid Family and Medical Leave for All Federal Employees.
This bill extends paid family and medical leave rights to all federal government employees, including those working for the Postal Service, Congress, and agencies like the TSA and FAA. This change provides financial stability to employees during major life events such as childbirth, adoption, or caring for a seriously ill family member. It establishes uniform rules across all federal agencies, enhancing employee social security.
Key points
All federal employees, including USPS, Congressional staff, and agency workers, gain access to paid leave for all family and medical events covered by FMLA.
Adoption leave can now begin earlier to allow employees to complete necessary adoption procedures before the child's placement.
The law coordinates benefits, ensuring that paid leave taken under other provisions is deducted from the total entitlement under this Act.
