The District Employee Paid Parental, Family, and Medical Leave Amendment Act of 2025 proposes significant changes to the District of Columbia Government Comprehensive Merit Personnel Act of 1978. Key modifications include redefining the term "eligible employee" to require that employees have worked for at least 180 days without a break in service before being eligible for paid family or medical leave. Additionally, the bill reduces the number of paid leave workweeks for qualifying family leave events from 8 to 2. It also introduces a requirement for non-probationary employees to enter into a continuation of service agreement, mandating that they remain in their positions for 12 weeks following their use of paid leave.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that eligible employees must provide written notice to their personnel authority when they intend to use paid leave, with specific guidelines on the timing and content of such notifications. It also establishes that if a probationary employee voluntarily separates from their position in violation of the continuation of service agreement, they will owe the District government for the salary received during their leave. These changes aim to enhance the management of paid leave within the District government while ensuring that employees fulfill their service commitments.
