Jump to Comments
Senator Ted Stevens and Sen. Chris Todd (D - Conn.) have introduced S 1681, the Family Leave Insurance Act of 2007, which would grant eight weeks of paid leave to employees entitled to FMLA leave. The leave would be paid by employers, who would be reimbursed by a Family Leave Insurance Fund to which employees, employers and the federal government would contribute. The pay would be a graduated percentage of the employee’s weekly earnings, ranging from 100 % of earnings for employees earning up to $20,000, to 40 % of earnings for employees earning $60,001 - $97,000.
