Three for Me

NC General Statute for Parent Involvement Leave
Need help getting to school to satisfy your “Three for Me” commitment?

Talk to your employer about NC Statute 95-28.3.

The General Assembly believes that parent involvement is an essential component of school success and positive student outcomes. Therefore, employers shall grant four hours per year leave to any employee who is a parent or guardian of a school-aged child so that the employee may attend or otherwise be involved at that child's school. However, any leave under this section is subject to the following conditions:

(1) The leave shall be at a mutually agreed upon time between the employer and the employee.
(2) The employer may require an employee to provide the employer with a written request for the leave at least 48 hours before the time desired for the leave.
(3) The employer may require that the employee furnish written verification from the child's school that the employee attended or was otherwise involved at that school during the time of the leave. Employers cannot discharge, demote, or otherwise take an adverse employment action against an employee who requests or takes leave under this section. An employer is not required to pay an employee for leave taken under this section.
