If you force small employers to absorb more of the financial burden of paid leave - to avoid "incentivizing" them stop hiring once they reach a worker cap - all you do is create a larger class of small businesses that won't even be able to afford to hiring up to the cap.
One could make a policy where there isn't any cusp or cutoffs by phasing out the subsidies as an employer hires more employees.
