Idea of the Week: Paid Family Leave

It is time to help all Families with paid family leave when there are periods of need.  This would not replace paid sick or vacation days most major employers provide. This can be funded by a small percentage of a persons paycheck to go into this "emergency fund" and indexed according to the size of the business and the time a person needs to take off. This would be an addendum to the Family Leave Act of 1993.
