A Greeneville Lawmaker Has Proposed Legislation To Allow Employers To Offer Paid Family Leave Insurance. If It Passes, This Would Make Tennessee One Of The First States In The Country To Offer Such An Option. Currently, Employers Can Offer Paid Family Leave, But Representative David Hawk Explained This Can Be Expensive. By Offsetting Those Costs, He Believes The Insurance Could Lead To More Employers Offering Paid Family Leave And More Days Off. The Legislation Could Make It Through The General Assembly This Session.
