The freshman lawmaker emphasized that her ”‘unusual' leave policy applies to both mothers AND fathers on her staff.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday trumpeted her office’s parental leave policy, which gives new parents three months of paid time off.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez May 10, 2019 4. I want to reiterate how important it is to give dads full parental leave. I strongly encourage them to take the full time. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez May 10, 2019 Policies for congressional offices regarding paid time off for new parents are set by each lawmaker. The Family and Medical Leave Act guarantees many staffers 12 weeks off for medical reasons or family matters, but the time is unpaid and employees must meet certain criteria to qualify, including having worked for their employer for at least a year.
The U.S. is the world’s only industrialized country without a paid parental leave policy for workers.
