| Give Us Your Opinion | | The WBJ Daily Report Flash Poll seeks the votes and viewpoints of Central Massachusetts business leaders each week on a topic of importance. Please take a minute or two to read the question below and the details behind it, then cast your vote and add your opinion. The results will be announced in Thursday's edition of the WBJ Daily Report. | | THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: | The wide-ranging Grand Bargain bill signed by Gov. Charlie Baker earlier this summer will bring the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2023, tipped workers will make $6.75 by 2023 and a new paid family and medical leave program goes into effect in 2021, but higher pay on Sundays and holidays will be phased out by 2023. Which aspect of the Grand Bargain is your company most concerned with? The minimum wage hike. Such a drastic increase will force layoffs or price increases.
Paid leave. The cost of absent workers will really add up.
Tipped-worker wages. Struggling restaurants could be forced to close.
Time-and-a-half pay on Sundays and holidays. There will be no extra incentive for employees to work on those days.
