Human Impact Partners (HIP) is collecting health evidence to support the Healthy Families, Healthy Workplaces act of 2008 (AB 2716), which would allow workers in California to earn and use paid sick days for personal illness, to care for a sick family member and to recover from domestic violence or sexual assault. HIP is conducting a survey of California workers to use as one source of data in their analysis. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey!
