Well, the idea behind the law is that you keep your current pay. I just think it’s impractical in situations where pay is driven by commission or where margins are cutthroat
Honest I’d rather see mandatory vacations, mandatory 401k match, etc. I think those are more important.
I’d rather see 4 weeks of vacation required by law or a 10% of your pay put into a 401k.
Yeah, those are both valid points. Although I’d also say that bills like that do get introduced, probably with much greater odds of passing than this one.
The idea and the reality will be different. I work on commission. Not being available would cost me a lot of money. Imagine we already have a nursing shortage. Now we cut their hours and we have an even larger shortage. We’d have to pay more in taxes to hire more cops, firefighters, etc.
In a labor market like we have. It would radically increase cost and taxes.
It’s something that sounds great on paper but in the real world it falls apart pretty quickly when forced
Sure, I work in healthcare and any clinician (nurse, doc, etc.) would be seriously impacted. It’s an industry where most companies are in the red, especially post-COVID. Cutting hours would be impossible.
But, there is also an argument to be made that we need to radically restructure things. CEO pay has ballooned relative to entry level jobs and this pushes for a rebalancing of that. Healthcare CEOs, at least in most non-profit/teaching health systems, aren’t paid anything like other CEOs.
