[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] +1. Paid leave in this country is an employee benefit offered by few employers. The DC council bill would change that, but it is really struggling in council right now because of the fiscal impact. If you see this as a priority (I know I do!), the best thing you can do is contact your council person and let them know this is an important issue to support. http://www.dcpaidfamilyleave.org/ (I'm not involved in this campaign.)[/quote] I'm for paid leave, but the problem with it being implemented in this way, in DC only, is that any employer who can will leave DC and go to a surrounding area. Those who can't leave are often government or public service entities (DCPS, etc) and the burden unduly will fall to taxpayers to cover. We need paid leave implemented at a national or at least multi-state level so employers can't flee as easily. [/quote] The current dc fmla does not apply to federal workers nor would I expect this bill to. Fed workers will never get paid leave unless the majority of workers in the US get it via state or federal programs. But it's a good start. I highly doubt the k street lobby, law firms, or even the non-profits would relocate over this. Dc employers generally need to be located here or they would already be in a cheaper COL. [/quote] Wrong 12 weeks paid for any parent beginning Oct 1. Some agencies already implemented it[/quote] Nope. Not sure why you bumped an old quote - but don’t provide false information. Feds are not eligible for DC FMLA nor are they eligible for the paid DC leave that starts in July. Feds ARE eligible for their own paid leave program beginning Oct 1. That program has nothing to do with the quote that you chose to responding to. [/quote]
