HAMDT 393 (102nd)

Amendment in the nature of a substitute sought to permit employees of all firms, regardless of size, to take up to six years of unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, or up to two years to care for a seriously ill member of the immediate family. Employees would be reinstated into their previous job or a similar one, provided such position is available. If no such position is available, the employer must offer the employee the first equivalent position that becomes available during the next year.
