This bill establishes, within the state disability insurance program, a family temporary disability insurance program to provide up to 6 weeks of wage replacement benefits to workers who take time off work to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, parent, domestic partner, or to bond with a new child. This bill would provide the additional benefits through additional employee contributions. This bill would also authorize employers to require that employees utilize up to 2 weeks of earned but unused vacation leave prior to that employee’s receipt of these additional benefits, as provided, and specify that these provisions may not be construed to relieve an employer of any collective bargaining duties.
