Accepting that economic growth follows the economic security of workers,

Hoping to both achieve economic security as well as a healthy, growing populace,

Understanding that one such way to achieve these ideals is through paid leave and securing jobs for workers for them to care for themselves and their loved ones, however careful not to excessively interfere with employers' operations,

Hereby:

1. Defines for this resolution:

   1. economic security as having a stable income or resources to sufficiently support oneself and one's dependents now and in the foreseeable future;

   2. a worker as any individual bound by a contract of employment who works for or services another party as a part of said contract; and

   3. paid leave as time which an employer must not require a worker to work for or service another party per their employment contract, during which the worker receives from their employer:

      1. compensation sufficient to financially support themselves and their dependents if the receiving worker requires it for economic security;

      2. all non-income benefits that the worker would normally receive that could take away economic security from a worker without it; and

      3. the right to the same job or a job with a similar salary, field of work, necessary skill set, set of employment benefits, work schedule, and work location, once the worker returns from paid leave, should the employer be able to provide it without bankrupting themselves.

2. Mandates that member states provide workers requesting paid leave a minimum of the following durations of paid leave or any higher limits that the World Assembly may subsequently set for their respective conditions:

   1. the duration of the worker's illness or injury to recover if the illness or injury directly compromises the worker's or their co-workers' ability to work, unless it is an irreversible illness or injury, in which case the minimum would be four weeks;

   2. the duration of the worker's spouse's, child's, parent's, grandparent's, or dependent's illness or injury to care for the affected individual if the illness or injury directly compromises their ability to function, unless it is an irreversible illness or injury, in which case the minimum would be six weeks, should the affected individual require such care from the worker;

   3. two weeks per year for general purposes; and

   4. twelve weeks to care for the worker's new child, whether from childbirth, adoption, or placement of the new child in foster care, should that child require such care from the worker.

3. Forbids employers from terminating the employment of a worker, reducing the benefits or compensation of a worker, or disciplining a worker with the reason being the worker filed for paid leave, and forbids employers from terminating the employment of a worker while they are on paid leave,

4. Declares that workers must alert their employers as soon as they are aware of any foreseeable events or conditions that may induce the worker to file for paid leave in the future,

5. Restates and clarifies that:

   1. member states and employers may not impose conditions for granting paid leave;

   2. the paid leave minimums only apply to workers on contracts for at least twelve weeks longer than the minimum paid leave duration of the worker's respective condition for paid leave;

   3. only the filing worker is granted paid leave;

   4. paid leave under 2d ends when the worker's child no longer requires care from the worker if it is within the twelve weeks;

   5. member states pay the financial compensation outlined in 1ci unless it is general-purposes paid leave, in which case the filing worker's employer pays, however, employers of workers filing for general-purposes paid leave may force the workers' member states to provide the financial compensation throughout the paid leave if the employer employs less than fifty workers; and

   6. employers and member states may increase the duration of paid leave beyond the minimums listed in this resolution.
