| | | | | | | | Question of the Week | | | Tuesday we asked: As senior citizens are living longer, working people find themselves in charge of caring for a sick or aging loved one -- whether its a parent, aunt or uncle, or friend. While companies are generally understanding of last-minute changes to employees' schedules to attend to their children, there's less of a precedent for when workers have to take off suddenly to care for an aging loved one. | What's your company policy for employees adjusting their schedules to care for other adults? |  | - It depends on the employees' job function, some can be done in flex time, others need coverage in the office.
- We would also allow our employees to take care of family members. Employees will feel better about their loved ones when they know they are being taken care of and they then can focus on their job. And in all honesty, taking care of those that need us, those at the end of their lives, of caring for each other, that is what we are here to do.
- Things happen in life. If employees need to make adjustments that do not interfere with their output, there should be no issue. For the most part the days of manual push type assembly lines where hours and attendance are critical are a thing of the past.
