what would a non-profit organization do to promote family-work balance?
well, they could raise awareness about the issues to make sure that Congress does not pass laws that prevent people from, say, taking maternity leave, or taking time off to care for a sick child. As of now, employers who are not a certain size are exempt from the FMLA meaning it is 100% legal for them to fire someone if that person had to go home because his/her kid threw up at school and needed to leave.
[edit] Improving this article
This is a very good start. I'd give it higher class. I added a category. Can anyone make suggested edits or additons so it can become a Featured Article? Bearian 17:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sweden?
"The benefits provided by the Act are not as generous to employees as policies in some other countries, such as Sweden. Swedish parental leave provides an unusually generous 480 days (16 months) of paid leave (80% or more of wage) with similar right of return protections as its American counterpart."
What does this have to do with the US or FMLA? I would imagine it is more than some countries but less than others. Either way, the mention of Sweden's policy seems irrelevant and non NPOV...
