City employees may receive more paid time off when they have a new baby. A proposed change would give primary and secondary caregivers 12 weeks of paid leave. This is a significant increase from current policies.

Current rules provide less paid leave, with primary caregivers getting six weeks and secondary caregivers getting two weeks. These policies have been in place for about a decade.

Further details about the proposed change are available, including the reasoning behind the update and the specifics of the ordinance.
