1) Parental Leave Policy

Commission on the Status of Women · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

Pasco County is reviewing a proposed new Parental Leave Policy. This policy would allow eligible employees up to three consecutive weeks, or 120 hours, of paid parental leave after the birth or adoption of a child. Both male and female employees would be eligible. This policy is currently under review by the Commission on the Status of Women. If approved, this policy would primarily involve administrative and human resources work, including policy implementation and employee communication. While this item does not involve direct construction or trades, it presents an opportunity for businesses that offer administrative support, HR consulting, or employee benefits administration services to engage with the county early in the process.
