The state director of the National Federation of Independent Business said Wednesday that mandated paid leave in Pennsylvania would cost nearly 8,000 jobs in its first year.
"There's been a push in Washington and Harrisburg to force employers to give workers several days of paid leave each year, but this report reflects the cold, hard truth: Mandatory paid leave is too expensive and would cost Pennsylvania too many jobs," Kevin Shivers said in statement.
NFIB issued its statement in response to news earlier this week that the state's Department of Labor and Industry had received a $250,000 federal grant to study family leave models and programs.
