IRS990/Desc0Paid Leave Paid Family and Medical Leave and Paid Sick Days A Better Balance helps lead the fight for paid family leave and paid sick time throughout the country. (1) Paid family and medical leave barely exists in the United States. The only Federal protection for families with a new child or a seriously ill family member is the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), but that law applies only to businesses with over 50 employees, limits access for part-time workers, and guarantees only unpaid leave, which severely restricts its use, especially among low-income workers. Until 2017, there were only three states that had a program for paid family leave. However, working closely with the Governor of New York and the state legislature, we were able to pass the fourth paid family leave law in the nation and the only one to guarantee 12 weeks of job protected leave. Following passage of that law in New York we were able to help pass five more paid family and medical leave laws in Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, Connecticut and Washington D.C. and helped improve existing laws in California and New Jersey using our New York model. When the New York law went into effect in January 2018, we worked to educate the public and key stakeholders about the new law to insure that those who need it will be able to take advantage of it.(2) Most people dont realize that about a third of the workforce lacks even a single day off they can use to care for their own or a family members illness. A Better Balance has provided extensive legal advice and support for efforts to secure paid sick days guarantees throughout the country. We provide ongoing legal support to states and localities working on paid sick days issues and now have helped pass these laws in 11 states and 23 localities (including the largest cities in the country New York, Chicago and Los Angeles). In addition, during the past fiscal year, we have helped two more states pass paid time off laws (in Maine and Nevada) with time guaranteed to workers for any purpose. We have developed model policies used throughout the country including model family definitions that insure inclusiveness for all families and have worked on regulations to insure robust implementation and enforcement of these laws. We have also helped defend those laws in court when challenges have been launched in Texas, Massachusetts, Washington and Minnesota.Discrimination Against Pregnant Workers and Family CaregiversLow-wage working women, especially single mothers and women of color, are particularly at risk of losing income or even their jobs in their effort to fulfill family responsibilities. That risk is especially serious during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A Better Balance has been actively involved in a range of work at the local, state, and federal levels to change policies that address the limitations of current laws protecting pregnant, nursing, and caregiving workers. A New York Times op-ed in January 2012 inspired Congressional action, leading to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Acta bill that would require employers provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers absent undue hardship. ABB testified at a Congressional hearing on the bill in October 2019 following our groundbreaking report, Long Overdue. In addition, thanks to A Better Balances leadership and legal support in states and localities, there are now 27 states with laws on the books that ensure that women can receive reasonable accommodations to keep them on the job while pregnant. In addition, due to ABBs efforts, caregiver discrimination laws have been passed in both New York City and New York State. ABB has been working throughout the country, litigating cases, publishing articles and reports, and providing legal support and information to workers in an effort to improve the legal landscape for pregnant, breastfeeding, and caregiving workers.
