In Support of Recouping State Costs Attributable to Low Wage Employers in Connecticut

Summary

On March 8, 2016, Sarah Leberstein testified before the Connecticut General Assembly Human Services Committee in support of S.B. 391, which would require certain large employers to pay a quarterly fee for each employee earning $15 per hour or less. Revenues from the fee would fund the critical state services that most working families rely on to care for both their children and their aging relatives.
