"We strongly support federal paid leave legislation that builds on private-sector solutions and allows employers to treat workers equitably regardless of where they live or work. Managing the plethora of state and local employee paid leave mandates is extremely burdensome for multistate employers and compels them to treat employees differently based on their location. This problem has become even more complex as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a dramatic rise in remote work and many remote workers have permanently relocated to other states."
