Effective August 1, 2024, the state Parenting and Parental Leave Act (the Act) is amended to make clear that a person taking such leave must remain covered by their employer’s health plan while on the leave and that this leave must not be reduced by any period of paid or unpaid leave taken for prenatal care medical appointments. The Act does not require the employer to pay the costs of the insurance or healthcare while the employee is on this leave. Under the Act, employers must grant up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to an employee who is a biological or adoptive parent in conjunction with the birth or adoption of a child or to a female employee for prenatal care or incapacity due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related health conditions. The Act was covered in an article in the July 19, 2023, edition of Compliance Corner.
Minnesota employers should be aware of these changes to the Act.
