Ensures organ donors can use job-protected leave for recovery
This bill would make sure that recovering from organ donation surgery counts as a "serious health condition" under federal law. This means private and federal employees who donate an organ would be able to take job-protected leave for their recovery. Federal employees would first use any existing organ donor leave they have.
Today, federal laws for job-protected leave (like FMLA) do not explicitly list recovery from organ donation surgery as a "serious health condition." This bill would change that by clearly including recovery from organ donation surgery as a qualifying "serious health condition" for both private sector and federal employees. Federal employees would also be required to use any specific organ donor leave they have before using general FMLA leave for this purpose.
