In 1993 Congress passed the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, widely known as FMLA. But what about paid parental leave? Currently only three states require paid parental leave. Idaho is not one of those states. However, some Idaho companies are making their own policies around family leave. Twin Falls-based Chobani made national headlines last year when the company started offering employees six weeks of paid parental leave. Now, an Idaho law firm has announced a progressive new policy for their fulltime workers.
We talk with one of the co-founders of the law firm and the Vice President of Human Resources at Boise State University to learn more about the landscape around parental leave.
