Paid family leave legislation is accelerating across states, signaling a shift in employer obligations that HR leaders should be preparing for today.
At ConnectBridge, we’re watching how states like Pennsylvania are expanding leave entitlements beyond the federal FMLA. The Pennsylvania House recently passed a paid family and medical leave bill covering employees caring for a new child, a seriously ill family member, or those managing their own serious health condition. It now awaits action in the state Senate.
When new leave laws pass, the organizations that struggle most are not those who oppose the policy; they are the ones who never built consistent internal processes to administer it. Now is the time to assess whether your leave tracking, documentation, and manager training are ready for an expanded compliance landscape.
Now is a great time to review your leave program so that, when new legislation passes, your team is already prepared and confident in how to respond.
