1 State Maternity/Family Leave Law 1 (1993)

handle is hein.peggy/stmafmll0001 and id is 1 raw text is: State Maternity/Family Leave Law Thirty-four States, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia have enacted some form of State maternity/family leave law to meet the changing needs of the American work force.1 Prompted by the recognition of increasing family responsibilities, including those of single-parent wage earners and dual-career families, these jurisdictions have become laboratories for change, following patterns already established in the private sector and in some collective bargaining agreements. 1The information in this publication is based on State statutes. Some States may provide comparable leave to State and other public employees through personnel codes, policy, practice, executive order, or management directive. This information may be found in personnel manuals. While these methods and laws set a minimum standard with which employers must comply, many employers voluntarily go beyond these requirements.
