A New Legislative Session: Are Work-Family Issues On Your Agenda?
Julie Schwartz Weber October 15th, 2008
As the state legislators are busy setting the agenda for the next legislative session, I thought I might share some information about 4 different types of work-family legislative initiatives that I originally compiled in preparation for a keynote talk this summer. While there are numerous types of work-family legislative initiatives considered each year, (check out our bills/statutes database for other types of work-family legislation), for this talk, entitled “9 to 5 No More: State Legislation To Give Working Families More Time,” I chose to focus specifically on:

2. Education Leave;
3. Flexible Work Schedules; and
4. Teleworking.
