A bill to require employers to disclose family leave policies to employees and potential employees; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities; and to prohibit failing to disclose family leave policies and prescribe civil sanctions.
This legislation, referred to as the "Family Leave Policy Disclosure Act," outlines the definitions of key terms such as "employee," "employer," "family leave," and "family leave policy." It specifies that employers must provide written or electronic disclosure of their family leave policy, including details on the amount of leave available and the procedures for requesting leave, before making an offer of employment. Employers who fail to comply with these requirements may face a civil fine of up to $1,000.00. The bill also clarifies that it does not limit any rights or remedies available under other laws.
