Why California Is Really Difficult for Small Employers 1:53

منذ عام واحد1:53

1:53

During a recent panel discussion with SacTown Talks, Tom Sheehy, Principal and Founder of Sheehy Strategy Group, said that while the Legislature claims to be fighting for small businesses, they are actually doing more harm than good. Case in point: In September 2020, the California Legislature passed SB 1383, which expands the California Family Rights Act. Before SB 1383, businesses with 50 or more employees had to offer 12 weeks of protected, not necessarily compensated, leave. Now, the threshold has been lowered to five or more employees. California is the first state in the nation to lower this threshold. Need help dealing with California lawmakers or regulators?

Some Leave Mandates Actually Hurt California Employees 1:24

منذ عام واحد1:24

1:24

California’s Legislature doesn’t understand the costs associated with extended leave bills. When small businesses are required to offer 12 weeks of protected leave, they often have to hold positions open, eliminate positions, or raise prices to cover their costs. Ashley Hoffman, Policy Advocate for the California Chamber of Commerce, and fellow SacTown Talks panelist, says that some small businesses used to offer subsidized child care as a benefit for their employees. Due to the new extended leave bills, they had to drop that program. Their employees would have rather had subsidized child care than 12 weeks of protected leave. Tom Sheehy, Principal and Founder of Sheehy Strategy Group, says that at some point, businesses have to balance the books however they can. Otherwise, they’ll have to close their doors. California’s Legislature needs to wake up. The bills meant to help employees might ultimately be harming them. What good are 12 weeks of leave if you get laid off?
