Is Paid Leave Coming to Wisconsin?
The proposed Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Insurance Act would be funded by employee contributions to an employee-funded state insurance fund.
Under a new proposal, Wisconsin workers would be eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid leave. With the introduction of the Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Insurance Act (FMLIA), workers will be able to take time off due to personal or family illness or to care for a new child.
The Department of Workforce Development and the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance shall determine the amount of employee contributions necessary to fund the benefit. Contributions will go to an employee-funded state insurance fund to provide wage replacement for employees who take leave from work.
