In a HUGE step towards a Virginia you can afford, Paid Family & Medical Leave legislation is on its way to the Governor's desk. Thank you to all of the incredible advocates, legislators, and advocacy organizations that have worked together tirelessly to make this a reality.
Virginia employees are one step closer to a future where taking time off to care for themselves or a loved one doesn't mean choosing between their health and their paycheck. A new paid family and medical leave insurance program will give workers the peace of mind to step away when it matters most, without sacrificing financial security. “This is a win-win for working families and businesses. It’s a win for the economy because it means more people can be working. They have more money to spend on goods and services,” says @VShabo, about the program. virginiaindependentnews.com/health-care/pa…
