Keith Rogenski shared that the California School Board Association recommends that school districts adopt policy for temporary and substitute employees. AB1522 went into effect 7/1/15 and grants eligible employees, who are not provided sick leave under a collective bargaining agreement and work a specified amount of time each year sick leave. Board members requested the following clarifications; -Under Paid Sick Leave – “within a year” – define year -Under Paid Sick Leave – “ A day of employment is defined as a day that a person is eligible to work” – change to “that a person has been assigned to work” -Review 3 days = 24 hours with legal counsel as many of the employees do not work an 8 hour day.…
Most women take advantage of medical leave while pregnant. A friend of mine whom works for Ross was very sick one day. Ross would not honor her medical leave request because she is part time employee. Some feel FMLA should be honored throughout the work-place regardless of employment status. In the absence of FMLA, it becomes difficult for employees to receive a day off when sick, recovering from a medical event, or having to care for a child, parent, or…
We comply Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for certain employees who are full time employees for more than a year if we have more that 50 employees when employees take leave. The FMLA offers certain employees to take an unpaid leave because of family members' or employees' own medical reasons. Family members are employees' spouse, child or parents. Their siblings, grandchild, and in-law aren't included as family members in this Act. Employees are allowed to take leaves for 12 weeks within 12 months because of · the birth of a new child and need to care of the new baby until the baby turns into one years old · the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care within one year of placement ·…
Pashto/Dari team meeting with Shayan and Amr regarding Spogmay maternity leave which June 20, 2016 Shayan stressed that the team should perform the daily assigned tasks to convince the customer that we are willing and capable of dong every task without interruption. He added that the three of us would work overtime for the duration of Spogmay leave; everyone will be paid 10 hours overtime. Amr also mentioned that we will be paid overtime if the customer approves it. Since both Jawaid and Wali have small children to take care of, I proposed that we should work the extra hours from home; every one will follow the regular work hours and do the extra two hours from home.…

Canada is a country known to be a welfare state, with socialized healthcare, unemployment insurance, and parental leave being cornerstones of a Canadian social safety net. However, Canada did not start off as a welfare state. For a long time, Canadian citizens were on their own if they had financial hardships. Welfare policies only began to be created in Canada in the 20th century. Today, Canadian citizens now have access to a wide variety of social security, ensuring that they won’t fall too hard when they go through rough times.…

In California, the first state to fund up to six weeks of paid leave for new moms and dads, only 29 percent of those who take it are men, and there have been numerous studies lately exploring why more men aren't taking greater advantage of the ability to stay home. The general consensus is reflected in a paper out of Rutgers…
Woman role in the American workforce has changed dramatically since the late 1900’s. World War II revolutionized societal stigmas, where men are no longer seen as the primary “breadwinners” and women as just “homemakers“. Today an increasing number of women have ignored the traditional path of getting married and having kids before 30 to seek paths that can lead to career and educational advancements. As a result, many laws have changed to allow both married and unmarried working mothers the opportunities to continue to work to financially support themselves and their families during and after giving birth. While working parents have access to unpaid childbearing or family care, Secret (2000) found that among 343 employees, about 194 would…
Paid maternity leave has become a standard benefit in many countries throughout the world; however, the United States is the only advanced economy that does not mandate maternity leave for its workers. Not only does the United States not mandate maternity leave – it also does not pay for it. Maternity leave is very important for the child, for the family, and for the economy. With women entering the workforce, they must be able to support themselves and their child(ren) while they are taking care of their new-borns. Without mandated and paid maternity leave, the mother’s may choose not to bear a child – which affects the economy and the population, and it will affect the relationship between the mothers, children, and the family as a whole.…
The United States is far behind when it comes to maternity leave, and while women are granted up to twelve weeks of maternity leave, some women are denied access to it. The United States has the FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993), which states that women are eligible for unpaid maternity leave for six to twelve weeks if employees work in a firm of 50 or more employees, work with the same business for 12 months and have worked for at least 1,250 hours over those 12 months. There is a huge debate about whether maternity leave should be extended and be paid, as the United States is the only industrialized country that does not give women paid maternity leave. Extending maternity leave to 40 weeks paid in America has more benefits than…
Maternity leave is also a contributing factor as to why there is still a gender pay gap as many salaries are performance related and so are not earning as much as males who are still working after child birth. Data analysed by the House of Commons library found that 14% of the 340,000 women who take maternity leave each year find their jobs under threat when they try to return, with some told that they cannot continue in their role part-time. Some women are forced into positions with less responsibility and find it harder to get a promotion, while others are effectively constructively dismissed. Georgina Joseph, UK, told The Telegraph that she regretfully arranged with her boss to come back to work part-time informally but the offer was later withdrawn and was told that she could return on the exact terms of her previous employment (five days a week) or nothing at all. She worked out that if she had gone back full-time, she would have seen her baby, awake, for less than 23 hours a week.…
In 2007, Washington signed on a state family leave act that requires eligibility of the FMLA. Maternity leave in Washington allows up to twelve weeks of leave. Weekly pay is around $250 per week for individuals who were working 35 hours and plus per week at the time in which they took the leave. As presidential campaigns pass, and community petitions, word will spread and there will be a high demand by people for this act. More states will sign onto the paid leave acts and U.S will eventually offer this wonderful privilege.…
