     181.92 Leaves for adoptive parents. 


    An employer who permits paternity or maternity time off to 
 a biological father or mother shall, upon request, grant time 
 off, with or without pay, to an adoptive father or mother.  The 
 minimum period of this time off shall be four weeks, or, if the 
 employer has an established policy of time off for a biological 
 parent which sets a period of time off of less than four weeks, 
 that period of time shall be the minimum period for an adoptive 
 parent.  The period of time off shall, at the direction of the 
 adoptive parent, begin before, or at the time of, the child's 
 placement in the adoptive parent's home, and shall be for the 
 purpose of arranging the child's placement or caring for the 
 child after placement.  An employer shall not penalize an 
 employee for requesting or obtaining time off according to this 
 section.
