California offers grants for small business paid leave

"California Grants"

Big news for small businesses! Grants of up to $100,000 are now available to defray the costs of providing paid leave. Not only does this support employee satisfaction, it helps businesses remain compliant with relevant laws. It’s a game-changer that puts employee welfare on an even footing with business growth.

Under the weight of paid leave costs, many companies struggle financially and workload-wise. In response, the California state government is stepping up to supply these grants, easing the burden on businesses and promoting stable economic conditions.

Moving on to another exciting development, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is allocating a whopping $30 million in grants to fortify Women’s Business Centers (WBCs) across the country. This includes a brand new WBC in the U.S Virgin Islands, supporting female entrepreneurs in an area where this need is under-served.
