PA HB200

Establishes a statewide paid Family and Medical Leave Program administered by the Department of Labor and Industry, with benefits beginning no later than two years after program establishment

Provides up to 20 weeks of paid leave for birth/adoption of a child, personal serious health conditions, or qualifying acts of violence, and up to 12 weeks for caring for family members with serious health conditions or military-related qualifying exigencies

Funds the program through employee payroll contributions not exceeding 1% of wages, with employers of 15+ employees required to contribute 50% of the total contribution; employers with fewer than 15 employees may deduct up to 50% from employee wages

Weekly benefits calculated at 90% wage replacement for earnings up to 50% of statewide average weekly wage, plus 50% replacement for earnings above that threshold, capped at the statewide average weekly wage

Requires employers to restore employees to their previous position upon return from leave, maintain health benefits during leave, and prohibits retaliation; employers may apply for waivers to use qualifying private plans instead of the state program
