  • Nick Price calls it a "huge benefit" to be able to offer up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave to his employees. The owner of the Main Street Bakery in Hopkins, Price is supportive of a proposal in Michigan for a paid family leave program.

The article from MSN discusses a proposed bill in Michigan that would mandate employers to provide paid family and medical leave. This legislation would allow employees to take up to 15 weeks of paid leave annually for reasons such as the birth or adoption of a child, serious health conditions of the employee or a family member, or military exigencies. The proposal aims to support workers by ensuring they can take necessary time off without financial hardship, potentially boosting employee morale and retention. However, it also raises concerns among business owners about the financial implications, including the cost of providing such benefits and the potential strain on small businesses. The bill includes provisions for a state-managed insurance fund, funded by contributions from both employees and employers, to cover the costs of the leave. This initiative reflects a growing trend across the U.S. to enhance family leave policies, balancing the needs of employees with the operational demands of businesses.
