Paid Family and Medical Leave Tax Credit Extension and Enhancement Act

This bill would make permanent a tax credit that lets employers get back up to 25% of the wages they pay to workers who take family and medical leave. It also expands the credit so employers can claim it for insurance premiums they pay for family and medical leave coverage, and it lowers the time a worker needs to have been on the job from one year to six months to qualify. The bill says that any leave paid for or required by state or local governments counts toward the leave an employer provides but cannot be used to calculate the tax credit. It also requires the government to spread the word to employers about the tax credit so more of them know it exists and how to use it.
