More evidence that #PaidLeave helps employers retain talented workers: 55 percent of federal employees under 40 say paid parental leave influenced their decision about whether to stay in public service. #PaidLeaveForAll #FEPLA https://t.co/hqVwARiq4v
@FrankMikeDavis1 Dear @RepBoebert
You are trying to take away #FMLA #FEPLA under #Title5. You preach family values but have none. Your constituents will be affected. Learn the functioning law lady (?). Keep talking. We'll use your words in campaign ads for the Democrat that beats your ugly ass.
This is why we passed my bill, #FEPLA (Federal Employee Paid Leave Act), and need to pass Rep. @rosadelauro's #FAMILYAct to create a long-overdue national paid leave policy.
Even for people like Jesse.
"Now I am pro-paternity," Jesse Watters says, talking about his newborn son. "I used to mock people for taking paternity, I used to think it was a big ruse, but now I wish I could take six weeks."
Well, to be clear, tens of thousands of federal workers were excluded from #FEPLA (inc TSA & FAA) and @senatemajldr blocked every opportunity to fix it, and y'all were silent. Also hearing a lot of crickets from the WH on extending #paidleave for small businesses in #COVIDrelief
No Admin has done more to advance paid parental leave for working Americans than this one.
#OTD @realDonaldTrump secured 12 wks of Paid Leave for the federal workforce, setting the example for private employers nationwide.
For 4 yrs, our priorities put American families FIRST🇺🇸
Starting October 1st, federal employees across the country will be eligible for 12 weeks of #paidleave under the Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act. This is a BFD! T/Y Congressional champions and @npwf! Learn more here: https://t.co/YvBgy3R1QV @AFGENational #FEPLA
@adriennesully @ErikaMoritsugu @michellemcgrain @shilpaphadke @KatieBethell Back at you, @adriennesully!! ❤ #paidleave #FEPLA
A huge thank you to @RepAdamSmith @RepMaloney @RepHoulahan @JimInhofe for their remarkable leadership to support working families in the passage of 12 weeks of paid parental leave for federal workers! #FEPLA #paidfamilyleave https://t.co/zUJECgd67v
Ok, first twenty-four people to the staff meeting tomorrow get spiced pumpkin mini-muffins. We’re celebrating #FEPLA! (Latecomers going muffinless symbolize the federal employees left out by the exclusion of #paidleave for medical and family caregiving purposes.)

With this new provision, the federal government will finally start leading the way on this important issue in a way that makes a real difference in the lives of workers. #PaidLeaveforAll #FEPLA #1u
Every American worker deserves a fair, paid parental leave policy to provide them the flexibility they need to care for a new child in the event of a birth, adoption or foster placement. #PaidLeaveforAll #FEPLA #1u
Go @amayajsmith!! We need #paidleave for everyone - it's a popular issue and one whose time has come. Parental leave for fed employees is a great first step but we must do more. #FEPLA
Thank you to all our union partners - @NTEUNational, @AFGENational, @AFSCME, @narfehq, @NFFE_Union - for standing with us every step of the way to win paid parental leave for fed employees #paidleave #FEPLA
Wow - at a presser for #FEPLA and @RepAdamSmith shared his own story of being adopted in part because his bio mom, who worked for the state dept, would not have been allowed to keep her job if she had a child. We need #paidleave to help women & normalize men's role as caregivers.
7/Bottom line: #FEPLA in #NDAA is cause to celebrate -- and there's much more work to do to guarantee #paidleave4all in the federal gov't
and in the entire U.S. workforce. I'm excited to be testifying today on why it's past time for #FAMILYAct. #paidleave

6/ Also, this provision cuts off further annual #FMLA availability for parents who take all 12 weeks of paid parental leave. So, if after caring for a child, a parent discovers their own cancer or needs to care for a parent after a stroke, they're out of luck. #FEPLA #paidleave
4/Analysis (1/3): This is a huge win for federal workers & a testament to the politics of #paidleave. No politician wants to be on record opposing a parents' bonding time with a child. Props to @RepMaloney @RepHoulahan @RepAdamSmith @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer for fighting. #FEPLA
3/Federal employees using paid parental leave must agree to come back to work for at least 12 weeks after leave, though can be waived for serious health issues of the employee or child/for other reasons outside employee's control. Otherwise, health premiums must be repaid. #FEPLA
2/ Boiled down (1/2): The language says that federal workers with one year of service can substitute new, administrative paid parental leave for unpaid FMLA leave within 12 months of a child's birth, adoption or foster placement. #paidleave #FEPLA
