When serious illness or a family emergency arises, many workers face a
painful choice between caring for children, parents, spouses and
partners or showing up for work and earning a day’s pay. The
inability to provide the nurturing, support and compassion to those
close to us hurts our families and weakens our communities. Everyone
benefits when workers are able to balance job obligations and family
needs. Giving workers financial security by allowing them to take paid
leave to deal with a child’s illness or a parent’s recovery from a
stroke not only improves outcomes for children and families, but also
raises worker morale and productivity. Paid “time to care” means
strong families, strong workplaces, and strong communities. The New
Jersey Time to Care Coalition supports initiatives that make sure
working families have paid time to care. For More Information Visit Us
