How Can Caregivers Balance Work And Elder Care With FMLA? - African American Elder Care
How Can Caregivers Balance Work And Elder Care With FMLA? Are you trying to find ways to manage elder care while maintaining your work commitments? In this video, we’ll explore how the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can support caregivers in balancing these important responsibilities. We’ll explain what FMLA is, who qualifies, and how it can provide job protection during times of caregiving needs. You’ll learn about the eligibility requirements, including employer size and work hours, and how to navigate the process of requesting leave. Since FMLA leave is unpaid, many caregivers worry about financial stability. We’ll discuss additional options like state-paid family leave programs, workplace accommodations, and community resources that can help ease financial and caregiving pressures. The video also highlights the unique challenges faced by African American caregivers, such as workplace biases and the importance of advocating for stronger employee protections. Whether you’re a caregiver, a family member, or a community supporter, understanding your rights and available resources is essential. We’ll share practical tips for planning ahead, communicating with your employer, and seeking support from local organizations.
