Why California Is Really Difficult for Small Employers
Manage episode 381363068 series 3504501
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?
