Obama Wants More Help for Families Including Telecommuting Incentives
Posted November 10, 2007
| Barack Obama, a Democratic presidential contender, said his proposals would expand the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, encourage states to develop programs for paid time off and would double funding for after-school programs. They also would expand the Child and Development Care Tax Credit to help families afford child care expenses. Obama said he would institute a program that would help businesses create flexible work opportunities, and would increase federal incentives for telecommuting. Those things would allow more families time at home together. He also wants to require employers to provide their workers with at least seven paid sick days per year. |  |
