The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5762, seeks to amend chapter 31 of the general statutes to enhance accommodations for employees utilizing the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program. Specifically, the bill mandates that employers provide additional support for employees on leave, which includes the option to work remotely while fulfilling their job responsibilities.

This legislative change aims to ensure that employees who need to take leave for family or medical reasons can still maintain their work duties to some extent, thereby promoting flexibility and support in the workplace. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new requirements for employer accommodations.
