SUMMARY:Informational Session on Paid Family Leave
DESCRIPTION:.\n\nState Representative Kenneth Gordon will share a presentation on a bill he filed with the Massachusetts legislature\, H. 1718\, which is one of three bills filed this session that seeks to establish a temporary disability insurance fund that will also cover workers in the case of the birth or adoption of a child\, or who must care for a severely ill or injured family member.  Attend this session to learn of the potential benefits and costs of the program.  The pending legislation would:\n\n	Establish a fund to provide partial wage reimbursement for up to 12 weeks to care for a family member\, or up to 30 weeks for a worker's own injury or illness\, with 12 weeks job protected\;\n	Apply to all Massachusetts workers\, regardless of the size of the employer\, except for federal or municipal employees\;\n	Free up resources so an employer can hire a replacement worker while the employee draws from the fund\;\n	Extend FMLA-type benefits to workers of smaller employers and work with FMLA to provide a wage component to workers of larger employers\;\n	Be funded through a premium charged to employers\, employees\, or a combination of the two for pennies per hour as the cost of the benefit.\n\n            Come and learn the details.
