Leaves that Pay: Employer and Worker Experiences with Paid Family Leave in California
12:30 - 2:00 pm
Goldberg Room, Boalt Hall
Co-Sponsored with the Labor Project for Working Families
A new study shows that California’s Paid Family Leave program – that offers paid leave to workers when they take time off to care for a new child or sick family member – has received high marks from employers and employees alike since its implementation six years ago. The authors call for an expansion of Paid Family Leave to build on its early successes, and for efforts to promote increased awareness of it across California.
Join us for a discussion with the authors about this exciting new study and opportunities for the future.
