so this putz is gonna make employers pay people who stay home. then how come the state can furlough people without pay so they meet the state budget? my state is going to make the state workers take 24 days per year of unpaid leave. i am pretty sure cali did something similar and i know that many states/municipalities are talking about doing the same thing.

but they, the politicians, are gonna make everyone else pay their employees for not working yet they dont have to? yes, that should really help business in this country. these fuckers couldnt manage a lemonade stand. come on 2010. you cant get here soon enough!

There is nothing the totalitarians don't want to tax or regulate.

there's a difference between cutting capacity to meet your budgetary needs, what states are doing,

and telling a sick person not to come to work because they might be carrying an infectious disease...

there's no hypocrisy when it's not the same thing...

Looks to be a swine flu thing.
They don't want you going to work sick.

There is a big difference when the state forces the employer to pay for days missed.
Typical of the contempt these statists have for small business owners.
Where is this money going to come from???

Out of the evil, contemptible profits, of course.

Yes indeed Vi...
Of course these small employers will not raise their prices, because they are all rolling in huge despicable profits!!
Those greedy bastards!

Right I feel you.
There is no money in the Small buisnessmans budget to pay for sick days.
But believe me I have swine flu right now. (Doctor Confirmed)
And you don't want to go to work when it hits your lungs.
You don't want to spread it either.

actually, if you read the legislation, there is a very big possibility of there being some sort of allowance in terms of either a deduction from your taxable income, or a tax break, to make up for this...

if there is no provision in place now, it is only a matter of time till it appears... lawmakers are not against profits, that notion is ignorant....

it also says that it's in case that the EMPLOYER recommend the person stays home... THE EMPLOYER, if it's the employee's choice no, if it's the EMPLOYER'S recommendation then they get paid. it's easy, if the employer wants to avoid paying them, they don't recommend they stay home...

copish??

no not at all. so lets say i run a restaraunt. and your ass has the pig flu and you are my waiter/waitress. you tellin me i cant tell your dumbass not to come to work and infect all my staff and customers possibly killing someone? and i have to pay you? so now i cant afford to get extra help to run the restaraunt. how do you propose i deal with that, tell everyone else they get a dollar an hour pay cut? no, i dont copish. thats fucking ridiculous and makes it virtually imposible to any business to plan and strategize so you can remain in business.

and if my business fails now i cant wait around a half a year to get my rebate. your speculation of "possible" govt goodies down the road is a bunch of pie in the sky. oh, thank you mr polition sir, you are robbing my lifes work but thanks for giving me some back...ludicrous.

further, there are some schools that have in the neighborhood of 80% of the students absent because they have the flu. now tll e how my business is gonna survive if i have to pay 80% of my employees for being sick? i think with your attitude you might make an excellent politician. probably fail like a mofo as a businessman who employes people. but sure would do good stealing from more hard working folks.

no not at all. what you are saying is i pay either way. i cant avoid paying them.
