To determine the impacts of a paid leave program in Colorado for our study about Proposition 118, CSI developed the Colorado Paid Family and Medical Leave Model which can project a broad range of fiscal and individual results.
Now, we are allowing you to run this model directly, with your own inputs, and visualize how a paid leave program could affect your personal and business’ finances.
