Julie Weith-Smith, Founder of CHRS, on GPB News Radio

Julie Weith-Smith spoke on the 25th anniversary of the Family Medical Leave Act about how businesses are moving towards offering paid leave.

Family Medical Leave has provided job protection to millions of Americans who need to take time off for the birth of a child, a serious medical condition of their own or a family member, however, because it is unpaid, many employees cannot financially take advantage of the 12 weeks of job-protected leave. Some states, such as California, mandate Paid Family Leave which is beneficial to employers and employees.

Hear Julie speak more on this subject and what we see happening in the workplace today.
