Both parents can receive Paid Parental Leave if they both work for the DOE in UFT-represented titles. However, in these cases, the 6 weeks are split between the 2 parents.
Applications will be processed to prioritize the delivering parent’s request. As such, we encourage both parents to appropriately plan for their usage together. The six weeks of UFT Parental Leave can run concurrently (three weeks each, at the same time) or consecutively (three weeks for one parent followed by three weeks for the other parent, or four weeks for one and two weeks for the other, zero weeks for the delivering parent and six weeks for the non-delivering parent, etc.).
