HB 5326 creates a Texas Family and Medical Leave program, requiring employers to provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave for employees dealing with serious health conditions, caring for ill family members, or bonding with a new child. The program will be funded through employer contributions, with optional employee payroll deductions. Leave benefits would cover up to 67% of an employee’s average wages, with minimum and maximum weekly benefit caps.
