Small Business for Paid Leave
Description: Small businesses support paid family and medical leave. State and national paid leave policies should cover family leave, including paternity/maternity and caregiving for ill loved ones, as well as personal medical leave.
Millions of people in the United States do not have paid family and medical leave at their jobs, including small business owners themselves.
COVID-19 has proven the economic cost of a lack of paid leave. Across the country, small businesses are joining with allies to work to pass emergency paid leave and a sustainable long term program in our states and nationally.
“We’re a small, family business. Emergency assistance helped us give our employees paid leave, so they could care for their own families. It kept us open in those darkest times. Now Congress has the chance to make federal Paid Leave permanent.”
