California Paid Family Leave Grant

The Vista Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its partnership with California Paid Family Leave Grant (CPFLG). California Paid Family Leave (PFL) Grant Program awards grants to assist California's small businesses impacted by the Paid Family Leave (PFL) Program.

 

Businesses impacted by California's Paid Family Leave program will have:

  • Increased costs such as training and upskilling existing staff to cover the duties of the employee on California's Paid Family Leave;
  • Hiring and training additional staff to cover the duties of the employee on California's Paid Family Leave; and marketing, recruitment, and
  • Other reasonably foreseeable training costs

 

The PFL Grant Program allows eligible small businesses in California with 1-100 employees with at least one (1) employee utilizing California's Paid Family Leave program to apply for grants up to $2,000 per employee to offset the increased costs associated with the employee out on leave.
