The NY Assembly and Senate are both moving legislation that would drastically increase short-term disability benefits. The proposal expands benefits from the current cap of $170 per week to nearly $1,200, with employers being responsible for 60% of the premiums once the bill is fully phased in. 

This is an abhorrent cost increase on NY business struggling with inflating costs, a diminishing workforce, and governmental regulations. Tell lawmakers to OPPOSE this substantial 600% increase!

How much do you currently pay in paid leave and disability premiums? How would you cover a 600% increase? 

Do you have employees taking leave? Is it fair for you to pay more even if your workforce does not use this benefit? 

Can you continue paying more and more to New York state?
