Under the Michigan Paid Medical Leave Act (PMLA), the definition of "family member" is comprehensive, encompassing various relationships to ensure employees can care for their loved ones. Specifically, the PMLA defines a family member as:
- Child: This includes a biological, adopted, or foster child; stepchild; legal ward; or a child to whom the employee stands in loco parentis (in the place of a parent).
- Parent: Encompasses a biological, adoptive, foster, or stepparent; legal guardian of the employee; or an individual who stood in loco parentis to the employee when they were a minor.
- Spouse: Refers to an individual to whom the employee is legally married under the laws of any state.
- Grandparent: The parent of the employee's parent.
- Grandchild: The child of the employee's child.
- Sibling: Includes biological, foster, and adopted siblings.
This inclusive definition ensures that employees can utilize paid medical leave to care for a wide range of family members, reflecting the diverse family structures present in society.
