In the Eye of the Storm – The Future of Federal, State, and Local Paid Leave Policy

1:45 p.m. – 2:40 p.m.

While the 2022 mid-term elections caused a range of political landscapes to shift, not only at the federal level but in state houses and city councils across the country, the national appetite for paid leave policy shows little sign of subsiding. As the patchwork of state and local laws continues to proliferate, employers are increasingly caught between their desire to provide valuable benefits to their employees and the array of incompatible and counterproductive compliance standards that they face jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction. At the same time, federal paid leave proponents are on the lookout for renewed support and momentum after paid leave reform language was ultimately left out of legislation last year. 

What does this all mean for the future of paid leave policy? Join our exciting panel of policy experts for a discussion on where this critical issue is headed and how a refreshed perspective could open the door for lasting compromise.
