Bill overview

This bill, the ESP Family Leave Act, amends the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to extend FMLA benefits to education support professionals working in public schools and public institutions of higher education. It establishes a specific calculation method for determining eligibility based on a minimum number of hours worked – at least 60% of the expected monthly hours for their job – as determined from the previous school year. The Department of Labor can provide guidance on this calculation process.
