California State University: employees: paid parental leave of absence.
Existing law establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Board of Trustees of the California State University, as one of the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in California. Existing law requires the trustees to provide by rule for the government of their appointees and employees. Existing law requires the trustees to grant a leave of absence without pay for the purposes of the pregnancy, childbirth, or recovery of a female employee, for a period as determined by the employee not exceeding one year to any permanent employee, as provided.
This bill would require the trustees to grant to an employee, in each one-year period commencing on the date leave is first taken, one leave of absence with pay for one semester of an academic year, or equivalent duration, following the birth of a child of the employee
or the placement of a child with an employee in connection with the adoption or foster care of the child by the employee, subject to specified requirements.
