ORANGE COUNTY ABC BOARD <br /> Meeting Date: August 22, 2023 Agenda Item#-7- <br /> Regular Session <br /> Presenter/Information Contact: Taylor Jackson <br /> Subject: Paid Parental Leave Policy <br /> Attached: Proposed Paid Parental Leave Policy <br /> Brief Summary/Explanations: We currently do not have a parental leave policy in place, the <br /> purpose of paid parental leave is to allow paid leave for parental care of a newborn or a child <br /> placed for adoption, foster care, or guardianship. By law we offer unpaid Family Medical Leave <br /> (FMLA) which provides leave to eligible employees. Therefore, paid parental leave addresses the <br /> lack of income experienced for such qualifying events. Many state agencies are now offering <br /> parental leave, such as UNC System, Town of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill and Orange County <br /> Government. <br /> Board Action: This policy will need board approval <br />
