PAID FAMILY LEAVE
Senator Favola believes that paid family leave strengthens family ties. Such a program would help create a safety net for our children and seniors, in addition to enabling Virginians to better balance the demands of family and work responsibilities. She has asked the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry to study elements critical to a paid family leave program such as; which employers would be affected, how many days would be granted and should funding come from a payroll tax or other revenue streams. Senator Favola will continue to fight for us on this important issue.
