Allegheny County Passes First County-Level Paid Parental Leave

Original: "The Allegheny County Council voted 11 to 4 to pass 12 weeks of paid parental leave — the first county-level paid leave

The Allegheny County Council in Pennsylvania voted 11 to 4 to approve 12 weeks of paid parental leave for county employees, described as the first such county-level policy in the United States. Both birthing and non-birthing parents would be eligible for three months of paid leave within the first year of a child's life. Supporters are highlighting the vote as a milestone for family and labor policy at the local government level.

Why now: It sets a national precedent as the first county-level paid parental leave policy, drawing attention from labor and family policy advocates.
