Senate Family Leave Act

Summary

Senate Family Leave Act - Amends the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA) to entitle a covered legislative branch employee, other than an employee of the House of Representatives, and in accordance with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), to paid leave of: (1) eight weeks for giving birth; (2) at least five days for a father (or partner) for the birth of a child; (3) at least five days for adopting a child or taking it into foster care; and (4) eight hours during any 12-month period to accompany a child to medical or school appointments. Applies such leave separately for each child of the employee. Extends certain FMLA employment and benefits protections to such an employee. Prescribes a remedy for any violation of such protections. Applies the paid leave requirements of this Act to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Library of Congress, and each of their employees who has met certain length of employment requirements.
