The United States does not require business to pay workers who are sick or caring for a new baby.President Obama and some other U.S.lawmakers want to change timeoff policies.Supporters say paid leave is the right thing to do.Opponents say it will kill economic growth.
In 2017, the United Nations reported that Papua New Guinea(巴布亚新几内亚) and the U.S.are the only two out of 185 countries in the world that do not offer workers paid time off to care for newborns.However, several state governments and some private businesses in the U.S.have provided the benefits for their workers.
Not every American agrees that requiring businesses to pay workers for leave is a good idea.
Tricia Baldwin is a business woman.She is secretary and treasurer for her family's company.Her company employs 400 workers.She says giving all of them paid leave would ruin her company.Instead, Reliable Contracting gives paid leave to employees who have stayed with the company for at least five years.She says paid leave is simply another government order that adds more costs to doing business.
President Obama supports paid leave for workers.Recently, he proposed a measure called the Healthy Family Act.It would allow workers to earn up to seven paid days of sick leave a year to care for themselves or family members.
Mr.Obama also wants Congress to approve a measure giving all workers six weeks of paid leave to have and care for a new baby.
