This bill aims to expand access to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) for certain educational employees, specifically targeting paraprofessionals and education support staff members , referred to as "covered educational employees." It modifies the standard FMLA eligibility criteria by establishing a new "hours of service" requirement for these personnel. Under the proposed change, a covered educational employee would qualify for FMLA leave if they worked at least 60 percent of their applicable total monthly hours expected for their job description in the previous school year. This adjustment is intended to better accommodate the work schedules and employment patterns common among school support personnel, ensuring they can access critical family and medical leave benefits. Additionally, the legislation mandates that employers of these educational staff maintain records of expected monthly hours and directs the Secretary to develop specific methods for calculating leave entitlements for these employees.
