This bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) to provide specific protections for employees who do not return to work after taking leave for the birth of a child. It explicitly prohibits employers from recovering any health care premiums they paid for maintaining coverage for an employee if that employee's failure to return from leave is due to the birth of a son or daughter. This provision modifies existing FMLA language regarding premium recovery. Additionally, the bill mandates that employers must notify eligible employees taking leave for childbirth about this protection. This ensures employees are aware that employers cannot seek reimbursement for health care premiums under these specific circumstances.
