MIAMI – Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio wants employers to get a tax credit if they offer employees paid family leave.
The Florida senator will introduce his plan Friday when he speaks in Washington at an annual gathering of social conservatives, the Values Voter Summit.
Under his proposal, Rubio would give businesses a 25 per cent tax credit for providing at least four weeks of paid family leave. It would be limited to 12 weeks of leave and $4,000 per employee.
Federal law allows workers to up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off without losing their jobs to recover from illness or care for a new child or sick family member.
The post Marco Rubio says a tax break would encourage more employers to offer paid family leave appeared first on Canadian Business – Your Source For Business News.
