Parental Leave

Parental leave is a paid leave associated with the birth of an employee's own child or the placement of a child with the employee in connection with adoption or foster care. This type of absence is not charged against the employee's leave credits, and the amount of paid days received is based on the employee's bargaining agreement. Parental Leave pay may run concurrently with any other related leaves for which the employee is eligible.
