Kentucky governor unveils paid leave plan for state workers with a new child or serious illness
SUMMARY: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced plans for state employees to receive up to six weeks of paid leave for bonding with a new child or addressing serious medical issues. This benefit, available in three intervals throughout an employee’s career, aims to make state government jobs more appealing. Eligible employees can take this leave following the birth, adoption, or foster care of a child, or when facing a significant health condition. The initiative is seen as a pro-family step to enhance workforce retention and competitiveness. It is set to take effect as soon as next summer, benefiting approximately 30,500 executive branch employees.
