"One of the most common misconceptions is that #FMLA is just about new babies – and it is not. 75% of people use it....for family caregiving or personal medical leave....About 55% of uses are for somebody who has their own serious health condition." - @VShabo of @NPWF
It’s important we understand what we’re talking about when we discuss Family & Medical Leave. Some policy makers tend to talk about paid fam & med leave in terms of new parents. This is an important piece but we’re also talking about caring for sick or elderly parents & partners.
Any national paid leave plan should build on the #FMLA, and reflect the well-established needs laid out in that law – parental leave, family care leave, personal medical leave, and military caregiving leave. -SB
