What it does

The Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act would require employers to provide employees with 96 hours of paid leave each calendar year for absences related to reproductive health conditions, procedures, or care, including menstruation, menopause, fertility treatments, and pregnancy termination. The leave does not carry over year to year, and employers with existing sufficient paid leave policies are exempt from providing additional leave. The bill prohibits employers from interfering with leave use, retaliating against employees who take leave, or requiring employees to find replacements, and mandates workplace notices about these rights with enforcement through the Department of Labor.
