| Question of the Week | | Can't answer the question in your email? Click here to view as web page before commenting. | 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? We have no problem with people changing their schedules around personal commitments as long as they do their job well and get things in on time. We review things like this on a case-by-case basis. We need people here during normal work hours and employees can use personal time to deal with anything that might keep them out of the office. We haven't had to deal with this issue yet. | |
