This Is Not Theoretical — Your Numbers Matter
To help you understand what this could mean for your business, we developed impact modeling tools that calculate:
-
Direct payroll cost increases
-
Insurance premium contributions
-
Margin and net profit compression
-
Estimated impact on employee paychecks
In many cases, the paid leave mandate alone represents an effective 3.6–3.7% payroll increase once employer taxes are included. When layered on top of scheduled minimum wage increases, rising health insurance premiums, escalating commercial rents, and other compliance costs, the cumulative burden becomes significant.
