The Michigan Legislature has been considering the enactment of a statewide paid family and medical leave program for over a year now. The recent actuarial analysis shows the program would be affordable, stable, and provide high-value benefits to Michigan workers and families. The proposed program includes paid family and medical leave, bereavement leave, paid safe leave in situations involving domestic violence, and more. Contributions to fund this program would be made by both employers and employees, with small businesses with fewer than 25 employees being exempt from payment but not from benefits.

The benefits of investing in a paid leave program include higher workforce participation, better health outcomes, improved employee morale and retention for businesses. According to a poll by Progress Michigan, 71% of Michiganders support paid leave. It is time for policymakers to enact these laws and join the 13 other states that have already passed family and medical leave laws. Monique Stanton, president and CEO of the Michigan League for Public Policy, urges the state policymakers not to delay enacting these laws, as they are not only affordable but will play a pivotal role in creating more economic security for families.
