匹兹堡市议会通过带薪产假：市府雇员迎婴或收养可享12周带薪假
宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡市议会10月21日以全票通过带薪产假法案：所有市政府雇员在迎来新生儿或完成收养后，可享受12周带薪产假，伴侣同样适用。新规适用于全部2,000多名市政雇员，每年预计花费市政府约50万美元。
法案由市议员 Heather McClain 推动。她表示，市政雇员的产假福利与私营部门及周边地区相比已明显滞后，不少新晋父母被迫在产假期间动用病假和年假拼凑假期。她说：“这项政策不是福利，而是留住人才的基本投资。”
匹兹堡是宾州继费城之后第二个为市政雇员提供带薪产假的主要城市。支持者认为，带薪产假有助于减轻新手父母的经济压力并促进婴幼儿早期 bonding（亲子联结）；法案即日生效。（GSM 据 HR Dive 报道）
Pittsburgh City Council Passes Paid Parental Leave: City Employees Get 12 Weeks for a New Baby or Adoption
The Pittsburgh City Council in Pennsylvania voted unanimously on October 21 to pass a paid parental leave law: all city employees can take 12 weeks of paid leave after the birth or adoption of a child, with partners equally covered. The policy applies to the city's more than 2,000 municipal employees and is expected to cost about $500,000 a year.
The measure was championed by Councilwoman Heather McClain, who said the city's parental leave benefits had fallen clearly behind the private sector and surrounding areas, forcing new parents to piece together leave from sick days and vacation. 'This is not a perk — it is a basic investment in retaining talent,' she said.
Pittsburgh is the second major Pennsylvania city after Philadelphia to offer paid parental leave to municipal employees. Supporters say paid leave eases financial pressure on new parents and supports early bonding; the law takes effect immediately. (GSM, from HR Dive reporting)
