Bill information

Summary

A bill to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to prohibit an employer from recovering any health care premium paid by the employer for an employee if the employee fails to return to work due to the birth of a child, and for other purposes.

Plain-language summary

This bill would change the Family and Medical Leave Act, a federal law that requires large employers to provide unpaid leave for certain family events. It would prevent employers from asking employees to repay health insurance premiums the employer paid while the employee was on parental leave if the employee does not return to work after having a child. The bill applies to all private employers covered by the federal leave law. Currently, the bill has been introduced in Congress and is awaiting further action.
