As a small business owner, I think our legislatures need to realize that mandated policies for large corporations can absolutely hamstring small business (generally defined as less than 100 workers.) I wanted to share another new resource with you. It’s not only for your own edification—if you are a small business owner—but you might want to pass along to your government representatives. The Sloan Work and Family Research Network at Boston College has released a new research mini-brief for state policy makers, entitled, Work-Family Information on Small Businesses, at http://wfnetwork.bc.edu/pdfs/minib_smallbusiness.pdf. The purpose of this brief is to help policy makers better understand the small business perspective on work-family legislative mandates. The mini-brief summarizes the small business viewpoint on work-family legislation, including paid sick days and paid family leave, underscoring both the concerns of and benefits to small businesses. The mini-brief also provides statistics, suggested readings, and websites with more information.
