More Pa. state agencies agree to provide up to six weeks of paid parental leave for their employees
Workers employed by the three statewide row offices will soon be provided a paid parental leave benefit that Gov. Tom Wolf announced on Monday he will be giving to commonwealth employees who work under his jurisdiction, starting next month.
Auditor General Eugene DePasquale issued a statement saying his office would be providing six weeks of paid parental leave to his agency’s employees similar to the new benefit the governor is extending to the tens of thousands of workers who work for him.
“Welcoming a new child is an incredible experience, and all parents should be able to afford spending some time at home,” DePasquale said in a news release announcing this new benefit. “I am thrilled to allow our employees this opportunity.”
Treasurer Joe Torsella’s spokeswoman indicated Treasury too plans to provide that benefit to his employees.
