About this opportunity

The Employment Training Panel (ETP) and Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA),announce the availability of up to $920,000 in California State General Fund dollars, for Multiple Employer organizations to outreach to California’s small businesses impacted by the Paid Family Leave (PFL) program, to help offset the costs incurred when training employees to cover the duties of the individual utilizing PFL. PFL is part of the California State Disability Insurance program providing benefits to eligible California workers who need time off work to care for a seriously ill or injured family member, to bond with a new child, or to participate in a qualifying military event. PFL pays up to eight weeks of benefits in a 12-month period. Although PFL does not provide job protection, there are various federal and state laws that provide protected leave for up to 12 weeks. The PFL SB Grant will provide to California small businesses (within the grant) equal to or between 100–51 employees a payment of $1,000 and a payment of $2,000 to small businesses less than or equal to 50 for each employee who is utilizing the PFL program, to help offset the costs involved with training other employees to cover the duties of this individual on PFL leave.
