For a company of 10 employees at 9 days a year that is 90 days. A full fiscal quarter of paid leave.
And this helps a small business how?
While your point is well taken, I believe that this is more likely:
For a company of 10 employees at 9 days a year that is 90 days. One employee laid off and we are below the minimum size for this act. And now, no paid leave again - problem solved.
By the way. The laid-off employee is on the dole now and becomes a Democratic voter - an unstated goal of this bill.
