00:00Today at noon, the Allegheny County Board of Health is scheduled to vote on a paid parental leave proposal.
00:06Here's KDK-TV's Megan Shin.
00:07This is the revised version of it, which would provide 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
00:12It would only apply to businesses with 15 or more employees.
00:17Full-time employees would be eligible after six months.
00:20Part-time employees would be eligible after 78 full workdays.
00:24It would apply to parents through birth, adoption, or legal permanent placement of a child within the first 12 months
00:30of a child's life.
00:31If paid parental leave becomes law, it would take between 6 to 12 months for it to go into effect.
00:38And if the board does pass the proposal, it would go next to county council.
