Gov. Gray Davis signed a law Monday that makes California the first state to offer workers paid family leave. The law - financed by an employee payroll tax - allows workers to take six weeks off to care for a newborn, a newly adopted child or ill family member. Employees will be eligible to receive 55 percent of their wages during their absence, up to a maximum of $728 a week.
