Both parents are each entitled to six weeks of Paid Parental Leave if they both work for the DOE in UFT-represented titles. As of the 2023 contract, this couple may take a total of 12 weeks of Paid Parental Leave, each using their six weeks of parental leave time.
The combined 12 weeks of parental leave can run concurrently (six weeks each, at the same time) or consecutively (six weeks for one parent, followed by six weeks for the other parent). However, one parent may not donate their leave time to the other to increase one's Paid Parental Leave period beyond six weeks.
