(a) Covered employers with employees or a class or classes of employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement shall not be required to supply such employees with paid family leave coverage when the collective bargaining agreement:

1. (1) provides paid family leave benefits at least as favorable as set forth in section 358-3.1(e) of this Title; and
2. (2) does not permit an eligible employee to waive his or her rights to paid family leave or otherwise opt-out of article 9 of the Workers’ Compensation Law except as permitted in section 380-2.6 of this Subpart. With the exception of the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence, a collective bargaining agreement may provide rules related to paid family leave that differ from the requirements set forth in this Title. Where the collective bargaining agreement does not provide a different rule, the provision of this Title shall apply to family leave benefits.
