So now not only do we need to give them time off and get a replacement to thier job; with this law the cost of replacement labor has just doubled. Who writes this stuff? Have they EVER had to deal with this out of THEIR pocket? I doubt it. They will soon need a "Rescue Package" for small businesses who try to flip burgers! That is plain stupidity.

Would the employer have to process it and receive a reimbursement payment from the taxing body? or would the employee have to file for it, much like unemployment comp? Who makes the decision if the request is legitimate? how long does an employer have to collect this information? Sounds like business are fighting against more rules/regulations causing more jobs to slip overseas and across the borders. More paperwork to process for the employer, both the collection of the taxes and for employees who are out....like there isn't enough already!
