Parental leave is leave taken for the birth of the employee’s child, to care for the employee’s newborn, newly adopted or newly placed foster child under 18 years of age or for a newly adopted or newly placed foster child 18 years of age or older who is incapable of self-care because of a physical or mental impairment. It includes leave time to effectuate the legal process required for placement of a foster child or the adoption of a child.

Pregnancy disability leave is leave taken by a female employee for a disability related to pregnancy or childbirth, occurring before, during or after the birth of the child, or for prenatal care. Pregnancy disability leave is a form of serious health condition leave.

(4)

Sick child leave is leave taken to care for an employee’s child suffering from an illness, injury, or condition that requires home care but is not a serious health condition.

Sick child leave includes absence to care for an employee’s child whose school or child care provider has been closed in conjunction with a statewide public health emergency declared by a public health official.
