MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS THAT
STUDY IS DUE IN JULY OF THIS
YEAR HOWEVER WE ARE HAPPY I AM
PLEASED TO SHARE.
A PRICE PARTIAL AND PRELIMINARY
FINDINGS WITH YOU TODAY.
USING JUST ONE SECOND IS IS THAT
OKAY OKAY OF THE INTERPRETER
ASKED ME TO ASK EVERYONE. TO TRY
NOT TO TALK REAL FAST -- NOT TOO
SLOW BUT JUST AT A NORMAL SPEED
SO THAT HE COULD TRANSLATE THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
GO AHEAD THANK YOU -- THE NUMBER
OF CALIFORNIANS AGE SIXTY FIVE
AND OLDER IS EXPECTED TO NEARLY
DOUBLE AND REACH ALMOST NINE
MILLION BY.
TWENTY THIRTY WHICH WILL REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL CARE GIVERS.
WELL CHILD CARE WORKER-EMPLOYMENT IS GROWINGSLOWLY AND
THE NUMBER OF HOME HEALTH AIDES
HAS RECENTLY SHRUNK.
THE RANKS OF PERSONAL CARE AIDES
IN CALIFORNIA HAVE RISEN
DRAMATICALLY TO OVER FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND AND TWENTY
EIGHTEEN AND ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO RISE BY ALMOST 35% A
YEAR.
THROUGH.
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR THE
CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE MEDIAN
ANNUAL SALARY FOR PERSONAL CARE
AIDES.
IS 260-002-0020 DOLLARS ABOUT
ELEVEN DOLLARS AND FORTY ONE
CENTS AN HOUR. TO THIRTEEN
DOLLARS AND SIX CENTS AN HOUR
HOME CARE.
EIGHT I'D LIKE TO NOW SEGUE INTO.
HOW THE STATE WHAT THE STATE'S
ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN ON
SOME OF THESE ISSUES SINCE THE
PASSAGE OF THE DOMESTIC WORKERS
BILL OF RIGHTS?
OUR LABOR COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
CONDUCTED A STATEWIDE REVIEW OF
CLAIMS IN.
TWENTY SIXTEEN TO IN AND TWENTY
EIGHTEEN BETWEEN TWENTY SIXTEEN
AND TWENTY EIGHTEEN THERE WAS AN
OVERALL STEADY INCREASE IN THE
NUMBER OF WAGE CLAIMS FILED WITH
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER BY
DOMESTIC WORKERS.
THERE ARE SOME LIMITATIONS IN
OUR SYSTEM FOR HOW WE CATEGORIZE
THOSE SO WE DO URGE SOME CAUTION.
BUT ROUGHLY WE FOUND IN THAT
TIME PERIOD ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED
CLAIMS FELL WITHIN THE CRITERIA
THAT WE THINK ARE IDENTIFIED AS
A DOMESTIC WORKER.
IN OUR EVALUATION OF THOSE
CLAIMS WE FOUND THAT WORKERS
REPORTED AN AVERAGE HOURLY WAGE
OF THIRTEEN DOLLARS AND SIXTY
FOUR CENTS.
AND THE MEDIAN WAS ELEVEN
DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS.
IN THE YEARS THAT WE EXAMINE
THOSE.
ROUGHLY FOUR AND FIVE WORKERS
REPORTED HOURLY WAGES AT WORK
SEEDING THE MINIMUM WAGE.
HOWEVER ONE IN TEN REPORTED.
THAT THEY RECEIVE LESS THAN THE
MINIMUM WAGE.
WITH MINIMAL HAVING ANY OF THEIR
CLAIMS RELATED TO OVER TIME.
HOWEVER WE DO URGE CAUTION WHEN
LOOKING AT THOSE STATISTICS
THERE ARE MANY BARRIERS THAT
PREVENT US FROM UNDERSTANDING
THE TRUE NATURE OF THE DATA.
THEY'RE ALSO BARRIERS TO
ENFORCEMENT [inaudible]
I'M.
IT IS DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING
FOR OUR FIELD ENFORCEMENT -- TO
ENTER THE PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT
BECAUSE THAT IS OFTEN A CLIENT'S
HOME AND WE TYPICALLY ENTER
WORKPLACES -- THAT ARE NOT THAT
ARE NOT HOMES AND THAT HAVE.
A LARGER SET SET OF WORKERS.
THERE ARE ALSO CONSTRAINTS AND
BARRIERS THAT WE THAT WE ARE
TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHERE WORKERS
MAY BE HESITANT TO BRING A CLAIM.
THERE IS FEAR OF LOSS OF JOBS
AND OR BENEFITS SUCH AS ROOM AND
BOARD.
THERE IS A LEGAL COMPLEXITY SOME
OF THESE CLAIMS.
AND THERE ARE SEVERAL CHANGES IN
STATE FEDERAL IN CASE LAW THAT
HAVE IMPACTED THIS GROUP OF
WORKERS MAKING MAKING IT
CHALLENGING WE THINK FOR PEOPLE
TO KNOW WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE.
IN TERMS OF EARLY
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GOING
FORWARD.
OUR STAFF ARE CONDUCTING A
SURVEY TO OBTAIN STAKEHOLDER AND
PUT ON OUR REGION EDUCATION
RECOMMENDATIONS.
SOME OF THE RESPONDENTS INCLUDE
MEMBERS OF THE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE THAT WERE REGIONAL.
INITIALLY REQUIRED AND
PARTICIPATED -- UNDER THE VISOR
ADVISORY COMMITTEE REQUIRED
UNDER THE INITIAL DOMESTIC
WORKERS BILL OF RIGHTS PURSUANT
TO LABOR CODE SECTION.
FOURTEEN FIFTY TWO WE HOPE TO
PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS THE
RESULTS OF THE SURVEY AND MORE
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN WE

LEGISLATURE IN JULY.

TWENTY TWO THE PAID FAMILY LEAVE.
GOOD MORNING ONE THANK YOU FOR
YOUR PATIENCE -- WANTED TO BE
HERE TO TALK ABOUT FAMILY
PROGRAM OF COURSE THIS IS -- GOT
A LOT OF IDENTIFYING.
COURSE IT'S GOT A LOT OF
ATTENTION RECENTLY PARTICULARLY
WITH THE GOVERNOR'S ANNOUNCEMENT
OF HIS DESIRE TO IMPROVE.
THE PROGRAM.
I'M SORRY COULD YOU INTO DO SO
OF APOLOGIZE -- CENTER ON
PATRICK HEAD AND THE DIRECTOR OF
THE EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT -- WE HAVE OVERSIGHT
OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT DIVISIONS
INCLUDING -- THE STATE
DISABILITY INSURANCE PROGRAM --
WHICH IS -- PART OF ACTUALLY THE
A PARENT OF A CALIFORNIA'S PAID
FAMILY LEAVE PROGRAM -- RENEE
GIPSON -- IS THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR.
OF EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT IN CHARGE OF PAID
FAMILY LEAVE AND STATE
DISABILITY INSURANCE AND SHE'S
HERE TODAY IF THERE'S ANY
TACTICAL.
TYPICALLY ENSURE THAT I BUT
SINCE THE PROGRAM STARTED -- IN
TWO THOUSAND FOUR WAS A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION BY THEN SENATOR --
KEWL -- THAT STARTED THIS
PROGRAM -- CALIFORNIA -- THE
PROGRAM IS COVERED OVER EIGHTEEN
POINT ONE MILLION CALIFORNIA
WORKERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
IT'S FUNDED BY A 1% ABOUT 1% IT
FLUCTUATES TAX ON EMPLOYEES THIS
IS AN ENTIRELY EMPLOYEE FUNDED
PROGRAM -- IT'S NOT JUST PAID
FAMILY LEAVE IS PAID BY THAT IT
IS PAID -- THAT -- 1% ALSO PAYS
FOR STATE DISABILITY INSURANCE --
WHICH IS THERE -- FOR WELL WHEN
OTHER INJURED ON OUTSIDE.
OF THEIR WORK RESPONSIBILITIES.
LAST YEAR -- IT'S SERVED OVER US.
TWO MILLION -- THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND WORKERS -- PROVIDING
ABOUT ONE BILLION DOLLARS IN
BENEFITS TO THOSE WORKERS
PRIMARILY IT'S PROGRAM HAS BEEN
USE -- FOR BONDING.
BUT IT ALSO HAS THE ABILITY TO
BE USED FOR CARE -- PARTICULARLY
AS OUR POPULATION IS AGING --
WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS CARE -- FOR
THE USE OF THAT BENEFIT FOR CARE
GO UP -- AS OF A LACK ACTUALLY
AS OF THIS COMING YEAR -- WILL
ALSO BE EXTENDING THE BENEFIT.
TO FOLKS FOR WHAT'S CALLED
EXIGENCY -- WHICH ALLOWS -- THE
FAMILY OF OUR MILITARY MEN AND
WOMEN -- TO RECEIVE SOME TIME
AWAY FROM WORK.
A TO TAKE CARE FAMILY AND THE
HELP OF PREPARE.
OTHER LOVE ONE FOR SERVICE --
VOTE WE CONTINUE TO OPERATE THIS
PROGRAM -- OUT OF FRESNO OFFICE.
WHICH HELPS US OUT AND A LOT OF
DIFFERENT WAYS -- IT IS --
PARTIAL WAGE REPLACEMENT OF UP
270% OF WAGES IT'S ON A SCALE --
THAT OF OF FORMER ASSEMBLY MAN --
PASTOR A COUPLE YEARS BACK --
BUT ALLOWS FOR UP -- TO ONE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS --
FOR WORKERS -- A WEEK.
ANY COMMENTS QUESTIONS.
HI MARC MINUTES DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE -- AS DIRECTOR AND
STATED CALIFORNIA'S PAID FAMILY
LEAVE PROGRAM ALLOWS WORKERS TO
TAKE UP TO SIX WEEKS OF PAID.
LEAVE ANNUALLY TO CARE FOR A
SERIOUSLY ILL FAMILY MEMBER OR
TO FIND A NEW BORN OR KNOW THE
ADOPTED CHILD.
WITH CURRENT WAGE REPLACEMENT OF
UP 270% OF SALARY BASED ON
INCOME LEVEL -- SO THE PROGRAM
WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF THE
STATE'S DISABILITY INSURANCE
PROGRAM SUPPORTS CHILD
DEVELOPMENT IN THE CRITICAL
FIRST WEEKS.
OF OF LIFE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT
PROVIDING UP TO SIX MONTHS.
OF PAID PARENTAL LEAVE TO BOND
WITH A NEW CHILD LEADS TO
POSITIVE HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL
OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN.
GREATER ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR
PARENTS.
AND LESS STRAIN ON FINDING AND
AFFORDING INFANT CHILD CARE.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED
TO EXPANDING THE PAID FAMILY
LEAVE PROGRAM WITH THE GOAL OF
ENSURING THAT ALL NEWBORNS AND
NEWLY ADOPTED BABIES CAN BE
CARED FOR BY A PARENT OR CLOSE
FAMILY MEMBER.
OR UP TO SIX FOR ABOUT SIX
MONTHS I'M IN THE SHORT TERM THE
ADMINISTRATION.
PROPOSES JUST THE PRESERVE
REQUIREMENT FOR THE FIND THAT
SUPPORTS FAMILY LEAVE PROGRAM
THIS CHANGE WILL ENABLE THE
STATE. TO MAKE A DOWN PAYMENT
AND EXPANDING.
THE PROGRAM IN THE UPCOMING
BUDGET YEAR.
WHILE MAINTAINING AN ADEQUATE
RESERVE.
OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR THE
ADMINISTRATION WILL CONVENE A
TASK FORCE. TO CONSIDER
DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO PHASE IN
AND EXPAND THE PROGRAM THIS TASK
FORCE -- WILL CONSIDER SUCH
FACTORS AS COSTS.
FUNDING SOURCES IMPLEMENTATION
TIMELINE IN OTHER RECENT
LEGISLATION LIKE A. B. NINE AWAY.
I'M IN ADDITION THE
ADMINISTRATION WILL CONSIDER
OTHER CHANGES INCLUDING THE
ALIGNMENT OF EXISTING WORKER
PROTECTIONS AND NON RETALIATION
PROTECTIONS TO INCREASE THE
ABILITY OF ALL WORKERS TO ACCESS
THESE IMPORTANT BENEFITS --
FINALLY I WOULD NOTE THAT THIS
PROPOSAL IS STILL BEING
DEVELOPED.
BOB BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE
[inaudible]
YES.
THANK YOU CHAD DOWNLOAD THE
LATEST BATTLE IS OFFICE I'M WE
JUST WANT TO POINT OUT SORT OF A
FEW REMARKS -- THE THE GOVERNOR
AND AND AS MR MEN AS MENTIONED
HAS MADE THE THE FOCUS OF THE
PROPOSAL TO EXPAND IT FAMILY
LEAVE.
THE IMPROVEMENT OF EARLY
CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT ON N. AS A
WAY TO SORT OF ADDRESS THAT GOAL
PARTICULAR THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS
AT LEAST CONCEPTUALLY PROPOSED
AT THIS POINT.
TWO LENGTH AND DURATION OF LEAVE.
AND MAKE POTENTIAL CHANGES TO
ALLOW LEAVE TO BE TAKEN MORE
FLEXIBLY SO SHARE ABILITY -- AND
OTHER CHANGES FROM CURRENT LAW.
I'M ONE OF THE THINGS WE WOULD
POINT OUT AS THE SUB COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS -- THE PROPOSAL TO
EXPAND PAID FAMILY LEAVE OVER
THE NEXT FEW MONTHS IS THAT IT
IT THINK ABOUT WHAT.
ITS OWN GOALS FOR THE EXPANSION
MIGHT BE -- OTHERS HAVE
IDENTIFIED ALTERNATIVE CALL SUCH
AS ADDRESSING HOT MATERNAL
HEALTH FOR REDUCING THE
INCIDENCE OF POST PARTUM
DEPRESSION.
OR POTENTIALLY -- GOALS RELATED
TO LABOR MARKET OUTCOME
ADDRESSING THAT THE GENDER GAP
IN LABOR MARKET PARTICIPATION.
WHERE IS THIS POINT BECAUSE?
THAT THE GOALS THAT THE
SUBCOMMITTEE IN THE LEGISLATURE
ULTIMATELY IDENTIFIES AS
PRIORITIES FOR THE PROGRAM
SHOULD DICTATE WHAT CHANGES IT
PURSUITS ARM.
SO FOR EXAMPLE.
IF THE LEGISLATURE'S PRIMARILY
INTERESTED IN INCREASING THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO TAKE.
A FAMILY LEAVE TO BOND WITH A
NEW CHILD -- AT THIS POINT WE
ESTIMATE THAT ABOUT HALF OF NEW
MOTHERS.
WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM?
TAKE PART IN IT AND ABOUT A
QUARTER OF NEW FATHERS WHO ARE
ELIGIBLE TAKE PART SO THERE ARE
SOME PARTICIPATION QUESTIONS.
IF THE LEGISLATORS INTEREST IS
AN INCREASING THAT TAKE UP RATE.
WE WOULD POINT OUT THAT. ONE
THING THE DURATION OF LEAVE
ITSELF MIGHT NOT BE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE POLICY TO GET YOU
THERE -- ALTERNATIVELY IF TAKE
UP IS THE THE PRIMARY GOALS JUST
AS AN EXAMPLE -- LOOKING MORE
CLOSELY AT THE WAGE REPLACEMENT
RATE FOR ALL WORKERS ARE
POTENTIALLY TARGETED FOR CERTAIN
WORKERS -- EXPANDING OUTREACH
EFFORTS. TO INCREASE AWARENESS
OF THE PROGRAM AND MAYBE ALSO
LOOKING AT THE THE LEGAL JOB
PROTECTIONS THAT THE STATE
CURRENTLY HAS ENSURING THAT
THOSE ARE BOTH IN LAW AND IN
PRACTICE.
ALLOWING PARENTS TO TAKE THAT
LEAVE TIME [inaudible]
I'M.
IN ADDITION OF THOSE
CONSIDERATIONS THE ONLY OTHER
POINT WE WOULD RAISE IS THAT --
IN RECENT REPORT WE'VE WE
WORKED ON WE WANTED TO GET A
SENSE OF THREAT PROVIDE SOME
THINKING FILLED THE SUBCOMMITTEE
OF THE LEGISLATURE ON HOW TO GO
ABOUT IT ACTUALLY.
FUNDING EXPANDED WE'VE BEEN
AFFECTS THE MINISTRATION IS.
PROPOSING A TASK FORCE TO LOOK
AT THESE ISSUES BUT TO SORT OF
THE STARTING PLACE.
ON WE HAVEN'T SCORED A SPECIFIC
PROPOSAL BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A
SPECIFIC -- PROPOSAL TO LOOK AT
YET BUT WE THOUGHT MORE BROADLY
I'M.
THINKING OF THE CURRENT
FINANCING STRUCTURE THE PAYROLL
TAX AND AND THE BENEFIT
STRUCTURE.
UNDER STATE LAW THE PAYROLL TAX
AS DIRECTOR ANY MENTION
FLUCTUATES UPWARD OR DOWNWARD TO
BALANCE THE FUND -- BUT IT'S
CAPPED AT ONE POINT 5% OF A ROLE
TAX.
AND SO ON CURRENTLY IT'S ABOUT
1%.
WE SAID WELL BY HOW MUCH COULD
BENEFITS BE EXPANDED IN DOLLAR
TERMS.
IN THE CURRENT SYSTEM WHILE
STAYING UNDER THE ONE POINT 5%.
YES JUST ONE QUESTION SIR BEFORE
YOU GO FORWARD OF COURSE BUT
WITH REGARDS TO THE ONE ISN'T
THERE OF MAX ON THEIR EARNINGS.
IT'S NOT IT'S NOT ALL EARNING
THAT THAT'S RIGHT RECORD YOUNG
EXPLAINED THAT THE CURRENT
PAYROLL TAX IS PLAYED BY COVERED
EMPLOYERS AT 1% OF THEIR WAGES.
UP TO A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR -- SO
PLEASE EXCUSE ME.
PARDON ME THANK YOU -- EMPLOYEES
PAY A PAYROLL TAX UP TO ABOUT A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR THAT INCREASES
EACH YEAR MORE OR LESS WITH THE
RATE OF WAGE INFLATION -- BUT
BEYOND THAT AMOUNT EMPLOYEES NOT
A PAYROLL TAX.
OKAY.
I'M.
SO I THINK THEY DON'T PAY OR
DOES THE IT'LL BE ON THE
EARNINGS ABOVE THAT AMOUNT SO%
JUST ON THE BASE ONE HUNDRED
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IMAGES --
IN THINKING ABOUT THE CURRENT
STRUCTURE -- WITH -- RAN SOME
SCENARIOS AND OBVIOUSLY SUBJECT
TO SOME UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE
FUTURE BUT WE THINK.
THAT PAYROLL TAXES ON THAT
EMPLOYEES PAY COULD BE INCREASED.
UNDER THE EXISTING STRUCTURE --
BY AT LEAST A BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR.
AND BUT NOT LIKELY MORE THAN TWO
BILLION DOLLARS. TO SUPPORT
ADDITIONAL PAID FAMILY LEAVE
BENEFITS.
OP WITHOUT.
GOING ABOVE THE ONE POINT 5% CAP.
AND SO THIS WE THINK IS A
HELPFUL MARKER OF AND HOW HOW
WOULD YOU DO THAT.
THE MONEY IS IT TOO COMPLICATED
NO IT'S THE FUNDING SYSTEM IS IS
COMPLEX -- BUT IS DESIGNED TO
BASICALLY CALCULATE THE PAYROLL
TAX RATE THAT IS NECESSARY TO
GENERATE CONTRIBUTIONS.
THAT WOULD BALANCE OUT THE
AMOUNT THAT'S WOOD IS ESTIMATED
TO GO OUT AND BENEFITS SO IF THE
LEGISLATURE WERE OR THE GOVERNOR
IN THIS INSTANCE.
IF THEY WERE TO EXPAND BENEFITS.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS WOULD GO OUT
AND IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR THE
AUTOMATIC FORMULA WITH
RECALCULATE WHAT THE PAYROLL TAX
RATE.
ESTIMATED NEED TO BE TO GENERATE
CONTRIBUTIONS TO COVER THOSE
BENEFITS SO THERE'S A SORT OF
CIRCULAR.
A SELF ADJUSTING MECHANISM
[inaudible]
I'M.
WE THINK THE ONE BILLION TWO TWO
BILLION DOLLAR MARK IS A HELPFUL
BENCHMARK BECAUSE AS THE
DIRECTOR MENTIONED CURRENTLY
PAID FAMILY LEAVE BENEFITS FOR
ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
SORT OF GIVE YOU.
AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE.
I'M A COUPLE POINTS.
BEFORE SIR FINISHING UP HERE
THAT WE WOULD MAKE OUR FIRST.
ANY ADDITIONAL BENEFITS THAT ARE
PROVIDED.
WOULD BE WOULD RESULT IN HIGHER
PAYROLL TAXES FOR WORKERS THAT
THE PAY INTO THE TO THE FUND --
AND SECONDLY GOING BEYOND THAT
ONE TO TWO BILLION DOLLAR RANGE
EXPANDED BENEFITS WOULD REQUIRE
THE SUBCOMMITTEE IN THE
LEGISLATURE TO IDENTIFY.
OTHER FUNDING SOURCES.
THANKS.
THANK YOU.
QUESTIONS HERE A QUICK QUESTION
NUMBER OF THERE'S A PROCESS
QUESTION FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU
RECTOR HANDING CERTAINLY IS IT
IS IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS THAT.
WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED THE
NECESSARY FUNDING SOURCES OF
WHEN WHEN THIS COME BACK TO US
WHEN YOU TO SPITTLE COME BACK TO
US.
SENATOR REID IN SOME WAY I THINK
OF THE TO HARM TO FINANCE FOR
SOME OF THAT -- TO AVOID THE
HARD TO BUT WHAT I WOULD SAY IS.
I THINK THIS GOVERNMENT IS
MOVING PROGRESSIVELY AND I THINK
YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING THIS YEAR I
THINK IT'S FAIR -- A WELL I
GUESS JUST TO BE STRAIGHTFORWARD --
A WE DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
DETAILS OF THE THE ROLE THAT AT
THIS TIME -- BUT WERE -- WERE
MAGICALLY THE TASK FORCE SHOULD
BE CAN BEING SEEN IN OVER THE
NEXT YEAR.
SOLD.
OKAY SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE
THIS UNTIL NEXT YEAR IS THAT
WHAT YOU ANTICIPATE.
AGAIN I HAVE A I THINK THAT'S
SAD.
I CAN'T CONFIRM WHETHER IT'LL BE --
NEXT YEAR UNDER THE SUN I I'M
NOT -- TO I'M NOT WRITING IN MY
CAL.
I'M TRYING TO GET SOME SORT OF
IDEA JUST ROUGHLY WHEN YOU THINK
THIS WILL COME BACK TO US.
YOU KNOW GIVE OR TAKE A YEAR.
I'D SAY YEAH I'M I CAN'T REALLY
SAY YEAH I I ONLY HAVE THREE
MORE YEARS ON THIS TERM SO.
OKAY ALL RIGHT [inaudible]
SENATOR NIELSEN.
WELL THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT
POINT.
BECAUSE EVEN THE CAP CAN BE
CHANGED.
AND I TRUST THIS WILL BE
AFFECTED IN THE TRAILER BILL
CORRECT.
IS THAT HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.
SENATE RIGHT I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY THE MECHANISM THAT
THEY'LL USE I BELIEVE THAT --
THIS'LL HAPPEN THAT WE HAVE THE
SORT OF NORTH STAR.
OF THE SIX MONTHS AS PART OF THE
FINEST CORRECTLY POINTS OUT.
I KNOW THAT THAT IS THE
GOVERNOR'S GOAL I THINK THAT WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO
THIS IN AN APPROPRIATE FASHION
TO SIT DOWN WITH.
A CONVENING OF EXPERTS ON THIS
ISSUE.
BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF IT
BEING A WORKER BENEFIT -- AND
KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF
CONCERN TO MAKE SURE THAT -- AND
A LOT OF THE RACES THAT -- WE
HAVE FROM THE LA -- I KNOW THAT
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE WANTS TO
MOVE SMARTLY ON THIS ISSUE -- SO
THE EXACT VEHICLE IT WOULD BE
HARD FOR ME TO SEND.
THE FINEST YOU GUYS KNOW EXACTLY
AYE AYE I DON'T KNOW.
THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY BUT
THAT'S IMPORTANT POINT.
IT IS A MAJOR POLICY.
CERTAINLY WITH MERIT BUT WE
CAN'T BE DONE BLANK CHECKS.
AND IF GOING TO BE AFFECTED THIS
YEAR THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOME
ACTION TAKEN.
BY THE BUDGET IN THE BUDGET.
AND ONE MAN ANOTHER COULD BE IN
THE OVERALL BUDGET TELL FOR
COULD BE IN.
AND THE IMPORTANT POINT THEN IS
THAT.
THIS CAN'T BE JUST INTERJECTED
LATER AFTER THE MAY REVISE.
AND OR DONE IN A CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE.
BECAUSE THERE'S ALMOST NO PUBLIC
INPUT.
AND LITTLE KNOWLEDGE. TO THE
PUBLIC OR EVEN TO THE MEMBERS.
AT THAT TIME SO I WOULD ENTREAT
THE ADMINISTRATION TO BE AS
EXPEDITIOUS AS THEY CAN AS TO
THIS YEAR'S PLAN.
AND NOT JUST SAY WELL WE'RE
GONNA BET ON THE COMMON WE'LL
SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT YEAR
THAT'S A MAJOR POLICY DID YOU
PUT INTO EFFECT BUT YOU'RE NOT.
HAVING ANY CONTROLS OR ABILITY
TO ASSESS WE NEED TO BE ABLE
[inaudible]
ABILITY STE.
APPOINTMENT BUT MY UNDERSTANDING
OF THE GOVERNOR'S INTENT IS TO
INVOLVE THE LEGISLATURE --
THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS JANA AND
I'M SURE YOU WOULD MISTER
HANDING YOUR THAT IS YOUR
REPUTATION SO I HAVE NO FEAR BUT
IT'S A QUESTION THAT --
SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF HOW THE
BUDGET PROCESS IS UNFORTUNATELY
CHANGE THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS.
THE KEY POINTS THAT YOU MAKE --
ANALYST OR HELPFUL TO THE TO THE
COMMITTEE THAT THOSE ARE THE
KIND OF A ROAD MAP.
AND THAT WE NEED TO BE
RESPECTFUL AND AS I FOLLOW THIS
THROUGH THE PROCESS THEN NAVI BE
ABLE TO LOOK AT IT THAT.
DIFFERENT SPOTS ALONG THE WAY.
IN THE BUDGET COMMITTEE IN THE
SUB MAYBE IN THE STATE IN THE
SUBCOMMITTEE OF COURSE HERE BUT
ALSO WAS THE BUDGET -- INVOLVED
AND GOES THROUGH CONFERENCE AND
TO THE END.
I HAVE A THANK YOU SENATOR OF
THE I HAVE A QUESTION -- MAYBE
YOU DON'T HAVE IT ALL TODAY.
MR HANDING WITH REGARDS TO A. B.
NINE NO NINE OH WAIT I KNOW OR
OR A REPORT.
WILL BE DO BU THAT'S NOT FOR A
COUPLE YEARS RIGHT -- I'M JUST
WONDERING DO YOU HAVE ANY
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION -- ABOUT
THESE.
YEAH CAN YOU KNOW THE INCOME
CATEGORIES LIKE WHO'S WHO'S.
A ADVANTAGE OF THE BENEFITS AS
THAT EXIST WITHIN WHAT INCOME
CATEGORIES -- SENATOR WITH WE DO
WITH THAT AND APOLOGIZE FOR
STUFF IN IT BUT IF IF THERE'S
MORE THAT I NEED ANSWERED PLEASE
LET ME KNOW.
THE LA WAS REPORT IS ACTUALLY
VERY GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO
TAKING A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE
INCOME LEVELS AND SOME OF THE
EXACT DEMOGRAPHIC SO YOU'RE
LOOKING AT THE EXACT REPORT THAT
YOU'RE REFERRING -- TO THE
DEPARTMENT HAS COMPLETED IT'S A
I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I THINK
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THE NEW
ADMINISTRATION MAKING SURE THAT
IT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE
PROCESS.
CORRECTLY -- BUT THAT TYPE OF
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ANYTHING
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW SO FAR AS
A UTILIZATION RATES -- MEN WOMEN
A NEW FATHERS -- I WAS ACTUALLY
HAPPY TO SEE THAT -- OUT OF A
SMALL A BIT OF MONEY IT WAS
SMALL IN THE SENSE OF THE
LARGESS OF CALIFORNIA RECEIVED
ABOUT SIX MILLION DOLLARS. TO DO
AN OUTREACH CAMPAIGN TO TRY TO
GET THE UTILIZATION RATE UP.
WE EXPENDED THOSE FUNDS -- AND
JUST FINISHED WITH THAT AND WHAT
I'D SAY IS -- WHAT I WAS
PARTICULARLY PROUD OF?
IS THAT FATHERS WE TARGETED THAT
GROUP -- THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN
USING THIS PROGRAM AS MUCH AS WE
WOULD LIKE. TO TRY TO GET THOSE
NUMBERS UP THOSE CAME UP.
WHEN IT CAME TO LATINO
POPULATIONS IN AFRICAN AMERICAN
POPULATIONS WE ALSO SAW THE
SLIDE UP TO BECAUSE WELL THEIR?
OVERALL OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS
WE SENATE SEEN A 10% INCREASE IN
THE UTILIZATION OF THE PROGRAM.
THAT I BELIEVE IS IN PART -- THE
RESULT.
OF THAT OUTREACH PROGRAM -- BUT
IF THERE'S ANY DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS
PARTICULAR PROGRAM.
MY DEPARTMENT IS MORE THAN HAPPY
TO SHARE OKAY GREAT I'M
PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE WHO PUT
IN.
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT
AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT EXPLICIT
IN THE LAW OR IN THE PRACTICES
OF DISCRIMINATORY.
INTENT BUT THERE COULD BE A
DISCRIMINATORY AFFECT -- SOMEONE
THROUGHOUT AN OF STATISTIC TO ME
THAT TO BE LIKE 40% OF LOW
INCOME WORKERS PUT IN BUT DON'T
40% DON'T ACTUALLY UTILIZE OF
LOW INCOME WORKERS SO.
THERE MAY BE AN UPTAKE OF 10%
QUESTION IS WHO'S REALLY
UTILIZING THAT -- AND ESPECIALLY
IF YOU'RE LOW INCOME GETTING
6270% OF THE MINIMUM WAGE DOES
NOT ALLOW YOU. TO BE ABLE TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM
UP TO BE ABLE.
TO STAY WITH YOUR FAMILY TO BE
ABLE TO HELP -- WITH WHATEVER A
USE IS -- IS NEEDED SO THOSE ARE
THE ISSUES THAT ESPECIALLY
CONCERNED ME BECAUSE IF WE'RE
REALLY GOING TO REACH.
THOSE FAMILIES AND THOSE
CHILDREN ALL WE'VE GOT TO MAKE
SURE IT'S DONE IN SUCH A WAY SO
FOR EXAMPLE.
IF WHAT I'M THINKING IS CORRECT
INSTEAD OF EXTENDING OR NOT IS
INSTEAD OF BUT WE REALLY NEED TO
DEAL WITH THE WAGE REPLACEMENT
PERCENTAGE OF WAGE REPLACEMENT.
AND THAT LIKE I SAID THE 6270%
OF MINIMUM WAGE.
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY DO THAT SO?
THAT KIND OF INFORMATION IF YOU
HAVE.
PLEASE SHARE SENATOR AND IF IT'S
OKAY WITH THE OTHERS ON MORE
THAN HAPPY TO SHARE OF DIRECTLY
WITH THE OFFICE RIGHT CAN REPORT
TO THE COMMITTEE AS WELL.
WHICH IP FOR OKAY.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON OF THIS ISSUE
PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
HELLO SENATORS MY NAME IS DANYA
CASSIDY AND I'M WITH THAT
CALIFORNIA WORKING FAMILY
COALITION AND WE WERE THE
COALITION THAT HELP PASSED THE
FIRST LINE WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON
THIS.
ISSUE FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS AND

GROUPS ACROSS THE STATE AND
WE'RE VERY MUCH IN.
AGREEMENT WITH THE COMMENTS THAT
YOU KNOW WHEN WE WANT TO EXPAND
THIS LAW WE DEFINITELY NEED THE
JOB PROTECTION BECAUSE PEOPLE
ARE BEING THREATENED WITH THEIR
JOBS WE NEED ADEQUATE REYES WAGE
REPLACEMENT OR LOW INCOME PEOPLE
SO CAN TAKE IT.
WE NEED AN EDUCATION OUTREACH
PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON LOW
INCOME NEW IMMIGRANT LOS ANGELES
COUNTY FRESNO CARE GIVERS.
THE WIDE VARIETY PEOPLE THEY
COULD TAKE A BECAUSE THIS REALLY
NEEDS TO WORK FOR DIVERSE
FAMILIES THANK YOU THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CHARTER RAZA MEMBERS
MITCH SNIDER WITH CALIFORNIA
LABOR FEDERATION WE JUST WANTED
TO BRIEFLY -- STATE THAT WE VERY
MUCH DO SUPPORT EXPANDING THE
PAID FAMILY LEAVE PROGRAM IT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S VERY NEAR AND
DEAR TOOUR HEARTS WE SPONSOR
THE LEGISLATION THAT CREATED IN
TWO THOUSAND TWO AND BELIEVE
STRONGLY THAT THE BENEFITS OF
JUST BEEN INCALCULABLE TO
WORKERS.
AND EMPLOYERS THAT WE DO THINK
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT.
DOES IN THE END MEAN REDUCED
TURNOVER IMPROVE JOB
SATISFACTION AND DIRECT COST
SAVINGS FOR A LOT OF EMPLOYERS
OUT THERE.
AND HOPEFULLY THROUGH THIS
RENEWED FOCUS ON THE PROGRAM WE
CAN START TAKING A REAL HARD
LOOK AT HOW WE FINANCE THE
PROGRAM -- ESPECIALLY FOR
TALKING ABOUT MAJOR EXPANSIONS
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND
THERE RIGHT NOW.
THE PROGRAM IS FUNDED 1100% BY
WORKER CONTRIBUTIONS AND THAT
ARM WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW WE
WANT TO BRING MORE BENEFITS TO
WORKERS WE THINK I MAKES A LOT
OF SENSE TO CONSIDER THAT.
THE PROGRAM DOES DIRECTLY
BENEFIT EMPLOYERS AND THERE'S A
LOT THAT WE COULD DO TO MAKE US
LOOK MORE LIKE OTHER STATES AND
OTHER COUNTRIES THAT DO HAVE
MORE OF AN EMPLOYER
CONTRIBUTIONS.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE
CONCERNED WITH IS THAT THE D. I
FUND AS IT STANDS NOW HAS BECOME.
KIND OF A SAFETY NET FOR
EMPLOYERS WHEN IT COMES TO
THINGS LIKE WORKERS COMPENSATION
WHERE.
WE HAVE WORKERS WHO ARE HURT ON
THE JOB OCCUPATIONAL INJURY THEY
CAN'T WORK ANYMORE WHEN THEIR
PLAYER FIGHTS THE CLAIM THEY
HAVE TO GO ON THE DE I FIND
GOING TO DE I TO ON TO STAY
AFLOAT.
AND AS A THE IDEA IS THAT THEN
WHEN THE WORKERS CLAIMS FOUND TO
BE WORK RELATED.
THAT THE STATE THEN GOES BACK
AND GETS THAT MONEY FROM THE
EMPLOYER BUT OFTEN THAT DOESN'T
HAPPEN AND AS A RESULT THERE'S
WELL OVER A BILLION DOLLARS THAT.
SHOULD BE IN THE FUND THAT ISN'T.
THERE'S A SIMILAR ISSUE
HAPPENING WITH UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE WHERE IF THERE IS A
RECESSION AND OUR SYSTEM IS
CHRONICALLY UNDERFUNDED AS IT IS.
THE THE LOANS THAT WE NEED FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GENERATE
A LOT OF INTEREST AND DURING THE
LAST RECESSION.
THE MONEY FOR THE GENERAL FUND
WASN'T THERE AND SO THAT MONEY
WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE D. I. FUND.
ARE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS THAT THEN WENT TO GO PAY
OFF THE INTEREST ON THE LOANS
THAT ARE THERE BECAUSE FRANKLY
EMPLOYERS UNDER FUND THE U. I.
SYSTEM AND SO.
IT HAS BECOME SORT OF A SAFETY
NET FOR EMPLOYERS THAT WE THINK
IS IS IRONIC GIVEN THAT IT'S ALL
WORKER FUNDED AND SO -- MUSIC
THERE A LOT OF THINGS TO
CONSIDER AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND
WE LOOK FOR TO BEING A PART OF
THE CONVERSATION.
I'M SORRY I I WE NEED TO END THE
MEETING SO IF YOU COULD JUST SAY
QUICKLY YOUR NAME AND
ORGANIZATION AND IT'S LIKE
SUPPORTER DON'T OR I WOULD BE
GLAD TO RECEIVE ON ANYTHING IN
WRITING THAT YOU WOULD GIVE TO
US THANK YOU.
