- 4
- Description
- Amendment sought to allow employers to satisfy the requirements of the bill by offering their employees a flexible benefit plan which includes family and medical leave as one of the options which may be selected.
- Purpose
- An amendment to provide that employers will be considered to have met their responsibilities under the bill if they offer their employees a "cafeteria" plan under which an employee may choose a family and medical leave benefit that provides at least the same rights and protections provided by the bill. (Cafeteria plans are benefit plans that allow employees to select the types of benefits they will receive.) Therefore, employers who offer their employees such "cafeteria" plans would not have to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid family and medical leave to employees who did not choose such an option under the "cafeteria" plan.
