• New Kensington man creates free tool to estimate costs of proposed parental leave (triblive.com) — A New Kensington resident has built a free online calculator to help small businesses estimate the cash-flow impact of Allegheny County’s proposed paid parental leave mandate. The tool lets employers plug in staff, reserves, and wage data to see how long their cash might last under the plan. Supporters and critics of the proposal are still debating its effects as the Board of Health prepares to vote.
