Workers whose disabled family members' care is threatened by state budget cuts need to know that Paid Family Leave may help!
While the Budget Conference Committee "[d]oes not adopt the Governor's proposals to eliminate Adult Day Health Care," budget cuts are likely and it is critical for low-income workers to know about their rights under California's Paid Family Leave law.
The vote will be soon, and may result in reduction of "Adult Day Health coverage to three days per week for a savings of $26.8 million." For more information on the Budget Conference Committee, click here.
Please let others know that:
- Paid Family Leave may be taken intermittently. For example, a worker can take PFL two days per week to provide care for a family member with a serious health condition! The PFL law does not have a minimum number of days or even hours - just a maximum of 6 weeks per year, which can be spread out over one year.
- Paid Family Leave may be used while a worker directly provides care or makes arrangements for a third party to provide care for a family member with a serious health condition.
- Paid Family Leave is employee-funded from deductions that have already been taken from workers paychecks, making it that much more important that workers know their Paid Family Leave rights!
