This past Labor Day, Wagner announced that the roughly 100 employees in her office — which is independently run from the rest of county government — would have the option of paid family and emergency leave.
Wagner's office was the first public employer in the region to offer the benefit — six weeks at two-thirds of the employee's base salary.

So far, one employee has taken the leave.
