That 12 weeks of unpaid leave is only for companies who employ more than 50 people, too. I expect most Americans work for companies smaller than that (and so don't get the leave) but I haven't checked.
- harryh 7y agoYour expectation is wrong: https://www.nysscpa.org/news/publications/the-trusted-professional/article/more-americans-work-at-big-firms-than-small-ones-040717 https://www.nysscpa.org/news/publications/the-trusted-profes... "Since 2014...34.3 percent worked at small companies." And this is for "small" defined as <= 100. The percentage will be even smaller for <= 50. It's also important to note that it's wrong to say that employees of small businesses "don't get the leave." Many small businesses will ofter leave to their employees without a federal mandate.
