paid leave

Connecticut’s Paid Family and Medical Leave program has paid out a billion dollars in benefits in the three years since its launch. That’s a major milestone, officials said.

Connecticut Democrats are putting expanded paid sick leave on their agenda for the upcoming state legislative session that begins next week.

Connecticut’s paid family medical leave agency failed to provide documentation to back up its selection of two consultants used when it launched two years ago.

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) introduced the FAMILY Act on Wednesday. The legislation would guarantee paid sick time for every working American, regardless of what company they work for or how many hours per week they work.
