Summary
Allegheny County is rolling out a bold new plan: 18 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents—birth, adoption, or foster care—with eligibility after just 30 days on the job. This historic first for Pennsylvania aims to boost maternal and infant health and ease the nursing shortage, while County Executive Sara Innamorato, expecting her first child, is personally championing the policy. But small business owners fear the financial hit, worried they’ll pay for two workers during leave. The public comment period ends June 17, and a compromise may be in the works—on weeks, coverage, or exemptions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
