HRD-93-14R 1 (1993-02-01)

handle is hein.gao/gaobackfm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I I I ' * GAO February 1, 1993 The Honorable Nancy Landon Kassebaum Ranking Minority Member Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate 148440 The Honorable John Edward Porter House of Representatives This letter responds to your request that we provide an estimate of the cost to employers of H. R. 1, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. Since 1987, we have estimated the cost to employers of various proposals for providing unpaid leave to employees under certain circumstances. 1 Our past work on these proposals has largely been based on 1986 conditions for such factors as coverage and costs of health insurance and the size of the population likely to be eligible to take leave under the proposals' provisions. You requested that we provide you a cost estimate for H . R. 1 that reflect 1992 conditions for (1) eligibility and length of leave allowed, (2) health insurance coverage and employer costs, and (3) the size of the population likely to be eligible to take leave under the proposal. H. R. 1 permits an employee to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year: -- to care for a newborn, a newly adopted child, or a child placed with an employee for foster care, -- to care for a child, parent, or spouse because of a serious health condition, or -- because of the employee's own serious health condition. 1See enclosure I for a listing of our previous reports and testimonies on family and medical leave.
