Allegheny County has a pending proposal that all workers would be eligible for paid parental leave for up to 18 weeks. This proposal will impact all home and community-based services (HCBS) providers and could represent a significant unfunded mandate. RCPA submitted comments during the earlier public comment period.

 

If you are a provider in Allegheny County, you will be subject to this new regulation.
