Employees rarely understand the additional cost to the the employer... COE I think it is termed.
Perhaps you can help explain it to them?
This could be a devastating bill in terms of the unemployment situation... especially in light of the small and mid-sized (and mismanaged large businesses) business struggle right now... could lead to more lay offs... either that, or employees will lose other benefits to pay for this.
Seems counterproductive to an economic recovery to pass this bill now... for the people anyway... may not be so bad short term for the government and those lining their pockets with the "winnings"... C'est la vie... to the victor goes the spoils.
