Are the ten weeks of leave provided in LD 375 paid or unpaid?
While the ten weeks of leave are unpaid, it is forced on the employer by the government as an unfunded mandate. The employer must provide the ten weeks, and the employer must hire the employee back after the leave. Maine’s economic system is built on FREE enterprise. We honor our businesses here by not babysitting them. Justice does not require government’s intervention in this matter. While the leave is unpaid, it is not without cost. The employer has to do something during those ten weeks. While it MAY BE legitimate for government and business to honor an employee’s spouse and children with this benefit, it is not right for our institutions to honor sodomy in this way. The practice of unhealthy lifestyles should not qualify anyone for societal benefits.
