Bill overview
This bill, the ESP Family Leave Act, amends the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to create a specific provision for education support professionals and school support staff. It allows these employees to qualify for FMLA leave if they have worked at least 60% of the total monthly hours expected for their job, as determined by their previous school year’s job description. The bill also requires employers to maintain records of expected hours and clarifies the definition of ‘education support professional’ to include a wide range of staff within public schools and higher education institutions.
