What is the maximum wage replacement rate of paid leave for children's serious health needs?
Any leave for children’s serious health needs includes leave specifically for children’s health needs, as well as discretionary, family needs, and emergency leave which may be used for health needs.
In cases where wage-replacement rates vary during leave, the maximum rate reflects the highest level of wage replacement available over the course of the paid leave.
A
flat rate
means all workers receive the same amount while taking paid leave, regardless of previous salary.
Leave available only to mothers is categorized as
No paid leave.
