CT Paid Leave Is About People

People who are no longer forced to choose between their own healing or putting food on their table, and being a caregiver for their loved ones or paying the electric bill.

CT Paid Leave Is About Workplaces

Workplaces that are strengthened by the ability of employers of all sizes to give workers access to paid leave, helping with both recruitment and retention and making their organizations more competitive.
