Allegheny County Adopts Employer-Funded Paid Parental Leave Law

On October 22, 2026, Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato signed legislation to establish a mandatory paid parental leave program, which also expands Allegheny County’s paid sick leave law. Allegheny County, Pennsylvania is the first locality to adopt its own paid parental leave law in the absence of any state-level mandate. The new law further stands out in that it does not fund the program with payroll tax contributions, but instead requires employers to bear the full cost of funding the required leave benefits. As enacted, the legislation is not as far-reaching as originally proposed (and described in our previous blog post); an extended public comment period, a public hearing, and “ an unprecedented flood of written comments ” from community business leaders led to compromises that that narrowed the scope of the legislation. The enacted legislation reduced the paid parental leave benefit from 18 weeks to 12 weeks, narrowed the employee eligibility requirements, and created a small business exemption. Below is an overview of what the new law will require of employers when it takes effect, just under a year from now. Paid Parental Leave Requirements The new paid parental leave component of Article XXIV of the Allegheny County Health
