How Does Parental Leave Differ from FMLA? The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law requiring employers to provide at least 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year to qualifying employees under certain circumstances. FMLA includes some qualifying parental leave reasons (like the birth of a child or adoption), but it isn’t the same as parental leave.

But at some point after that hire, reality hits: you now face a maze of overlapping parental leave laws that range from federal FMLA requirements to Illinois-specific regulations. And even seasoned HR teams can struggle to decode them.
Unlike states with straightforward paid family leave programs, Illinois operates under a complex framework. Understanding how federal protections interact with state regulations—and knowing when the Paid Leave for All Workers Act applies—determines whether your policies protect both employees and your organization.
