— Employees who work for public employers may be covered for Paid Family Leave if their employer has voluntarily opted in to provide the benefit. Union-represented public employees may be covered if the benefit has been negotiated through collective bargaining.
How to Apply (steps)
— Leave can be taken either all at once or intermittently, but must be taken in full-day increments.
— You must notify your employer at least 30 days before the start of leave if foreseeable; otherwise, notify your employer as soon as possible.
