Family Leave for Education Support Staff: New Eligibility Rules
This act extends Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provisions to education support staff, including paraprofessionals and administrative personnel. It aims to provide these employees with easier access to leave for significant life events, potentially enhancing their financial security and work-life balance. The changes simplify eligibility requirements, even for those working less than full-time.
Key points
Education support staff (e.g., paraprofessionals, administrative, technical staff) gain easier access to family and medical leave.
The hours of service requirement for leave eligibility will be met if an employee worked at least 60% of their expected monthly hours in the previous school year.
Employers must maintain records of these employees' expected monthly hours, ensuring transparency and easier verification of eligibility.
