Lets married couples working for the same company take full FMLA leave

This bill would end current limits on how much Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) time married people can take if they work for the same employer. This means couples would each get their full FMLA leave, rather than having to share it for certain family reasons.

What Would Change

Today, married people who work for the same employer must share a single pool of FMLA leave for certain reasons, like caring for a new child or a sick parent. If this bill becomes law, each married person would be able to take their full FMLA leave allowance, without these shared limits.

Key Provisions

Ends the rule that limits how much FMLA leave married couples can take if they work for the same employer.
