Elder care is one of the most difficult topics to talk about. It is both emotionally and physically taxing. Bringing comfort to an aging loved one drains the time and the finances of the person responsible for their care.
More than 40% of workers nationwide have engaged in some form of elder care. And those stats aren't going to change anytime soon.
Fortunately, Paid Family Leave (PFL) is available during these times of extreme stress. PFL provides for time away from work to care for an ailing family member or loved one. While employee-funded State of California PFL provides partial income replacement - we know that isn't always enough. This year, we're asking our employers to meet us part way. We propose integrating employee-funded leave with employer-funded leave for full income replacement. That's paid leave a family can count on.
