IN SUPPORTING A FEDERAL PAID LEAVE POLICY, BUSINESSES STAND BY FIVE CORE PRINCIPLES:

Paid leave is a fundamental element of addressing racial, class, and gender inequalities.
Paid leave leads to better talent attraction, employee retention, and improved employee morale, contributing to greater business stability and viability.
A federal paid leave program should be inclusive and protect all workers equally, regardless of what kind of work they do, where they live, or whom they love.
A federal paid leave program should be comprehensive and support working people when they welcome a new child, care for a seriously ill family member, or care for one’s own serious illness.
Everyone should be able to be there for their families in the moments that matter most. When families thrive, we all thrive.
