Attention small businesses in California with 1-100 employees! If you have at least one employee who will be using California’s Paid Family Leave program on or after June 1, 2024, you may be eligible to apply for grants up to $2,000 per employee on PFL. This grant is designed to help offset the increased costs you may face while the employee is on leave. California’s Paid Family Leave program allows workers to take paid leave to bond with a new child (through birth, adoption, or foster care) or to care for a seriously ill family member. Businesses impacted by this program may have increased costs, such as training and upskilling existing staff to cover the duties of the employee on leave, hiring and training additional staff, and other related expenses. For more information and to apply for the grant, please visit CaliforniaPFL.com.
