...United States is the only country to not have a law granting paid family leave for mothers’ with a newborn. It was not until 1993, did the U.S. enact the Family and Medical Leave Act which allows workers time off to: bond with a newborn child; treat their own serious health condition; or care for a family member with a serious health condition. The intent for FMLA is to allow workers to balance family life with job obligations, but without wage replacement, many are unable to afford unpaid time off. Further, FMLA’s eligibility requirements exclude a substantial portion of the working population, primarily part-time, temporary, and vulnerable low-wage workers. Some states, such as California have taken action to ameloriate these pitfalls through paid family leave programs using state temporary disability insurance funds. California has been a frontrunner in many public health initiatives including being the first state to provide a comprehensive Paid Family Leave (PFL) program with “a wage replacement requirement for the time parents take to bond with a newborn or adopted child” (Cohen, 2011, p.2 ). This analysis will further examine California’s paid family leave program including its’ provisions, strengths, weaknesses, and its’ overall potential to be used as a template for future federal policy. Limited leave taking in the United States is largely a result of the eligibility restrictions for job-protected leave under FMLA and the inability to finance unpaid time off even if deemed...

...Does a Paid Parental Leave Policy Create an Organizational Culture that Contributes to the Advancement of Women in Government? April 23, 2015 Jessica Butherus, Amber Chaudhry, LeBrit Nickerson, Caty Rogers & Marcia Straut I. Introduction The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was a vital step toward improving workers’ access to leave, in order to help care for new children or ill family members. Unfortunately, the law does not require employees to be paid and does not cover organizations with less than 50 workers. Therefore, many workers still do not have access to leave, and those that do often find it financially difficult to take advantage of the benefits (Gault, Hartmann, Hegewisch, Millie, and Reichlin, p.4). With no legal requirements, only 11% of employees working in the private sector and only 16% of government employees have access to paid leave (Rosen). Discussion of paid parental leave has recently made it back in the spotlight. This January, President Barack Obama signed a presidential memorandum directing agencies to allow federal employees to take up to six weeks of advanced sick leave to care for a new child or ill family member (Mufson and Eilperin). City governments, including Boston and Seattle, recently announced paid parental leave policies of their own (O’Brien, Capitol Hills Time Staff). As aspiring female leaders in the federal government, we chose to explore: Does a Paid Parental Leave Policy Create an Organizational Culture that...

...Days listed above are holidays that the company will pay off to all employee who has been actively working at Carter Cleaning Centers for at least 6 months. Submission of time off for vacation should be one month in advance before employee vacation starts so that it can give management time to find another person to cover that person position. The reason being for this “sick leave policy” is because we don't want employees to abuse their sick days to take off working days without notice. Unlike vacation POT policy, they are letting management know a month in advance to find other people to cover that position. Whereas sick leave policy may let employees take days off but will cause the work flow to slow down with an absences of a worker....

...& Benefits During Leave This document either (1) integrates California and Federal law into one answer for the California library or (2) covers Federal law only for the National library, which applies to all states. The active profiles listed above show which library applies. For the National version, the federal laws set the minimum requirements for employee rights and employer obligations. However, your company may be subject to additional rules, depending on state and local laws, court decisions, or agency regulations. And, whether your company is in California or another state, if the company provides more generous terms through an oral or written contract, a collective bargaining agreement, or company policy, the company must comply with those terms. RELATED INFO/FORMS: Note: This document applies to all employees, whether exempt, non-exempt, full-time, part-time, temporary, new, or regular.1 GENERAL RULE ON PAY AND BENEFITS DURING LEAVE Employers must give employees time off from work for a variety of reasons (such as for jury duty and workers' comp injuries). Besides these mandatory leaves, many employers provide other, optional leaves (such as vacation, sick, and holiday leave). See Memo 2800 Employer's Duty to Provide Leave & Time Off.

...handled. If these matters are not handled with caution and within the legal limitations, law suits are filed and companies face serious legal challenges. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the legal voice for those individuals whom believe they have been discriminated. Laws were designed to protect employees from discrimination and to protect the jobs of employees who need to take time off work to take care of ill family members. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is designed to grant eligible employees up to 12 weeks of time off work during any 12-month period. As with anything, there are individuals who try to take advantage of this policy; therefore, employers have developed an internal “personal time off work” policy for protection. Most companies have personal leave to include limited vacation and sick days (accrued and earned), limitation on sick days taken per year and during probationary period, attendance policy, tardy policy, and separate accrual for personal days. These policies were designed to allow...

...Case Study – Paid Time Off Policies B6032 Human Resource Management & Talent Development Courtez Kirkwood Argosy University Paid time off is awarded to those that meet the selected criteria. Usually this is by being employed, attendance at work and working over time. Merging two companies with two different PTO policies is a difficult task as ultimately; there must be one newly created policy for all employees to follow. In addition, HR will need to further research each company for information to determine the newly formed paid time off policy once the companies have merged. Length of Employment * Usually it is important to know how long an employee has been with the company. Paid time off is accumulated over time and the length of an employee at a company can really alter their paid time off. This information is important to make sure paid time off is given fairly but also to protect the company from people who join the company just to receive paid time off. Attendance * Employees work different hours throughout the day, week, month and year. Some employees are required to work 40 hours a week; some are required to work more or less. This information is needed to help define the paid time off policy and help narrow down the qualifications Employee type * In most companies there are full time employees whom are entitled to all benefits and incentives. There are also outsourced and contractor employees within a company. The different types of employees...

...Sydni Nauflett Maternity Leave Should Be Longer Introduction In the United States, women take 6 to 12 weeks of maternity leave. It is highly unlikely a new mother will take any longer than 12 weeks, no matter what job she has (Berger & Waldfogel, 2004). In fact, the United States has a very short maternity leave when compared to other countries (Berger, Hill & Waldfogel, 2005). When making policies for maternity leave, companies fail to realize how short maternity leave can take away from the care the mother is able to give to her child. Also, short maternity leave can affect the mother’s mental health. This present paper will show how short maternity leave impacts breastfeeding, the health of child, and behaviors of the child and the mental...

...and ADA may not have had a direct impact on you, but there may be someone in your life that it has affected. Family Medical Leave Act, or FMLA as it is commonly referred to, was signed into law in 1993 by Former President Bill Clinton. FMLA was enacted to provide employees, of companies that employed fifty or more individuals, a job protected leave of absence from work, for up to twelve unpaid weeks, unless the employee had sick or vacation time to make up the financial loss. The employee must have been with the company for twelve months and had worked at least one thousand two hundred and fifty hours, (FMLA.com). FMLA also protects the employees work position at the company. The company must offer an equivalent position with the same rate of pay upon the return of the employee. FMLA made the balance of work and personal life more manageable outside the workforce. FMLA lessened worry among the employees as well as the company itself. There was also a provision in the act for employees to care for a military service member, of their immediate family, for twenty six weeks if the service member became ill. Our employee, Mr. A, situation A, definitely qualified for, and by law was granted, FMLA time due to his wife giving birth, prematurely, to a set of twins. He was employed for two years and apparently made the FMLA request per company policy. Since Mr. A was not sick himself so, he does not have to provide proof that he is “fit” to return to work.
