AMAZON CREATIVELY EXPANDS FMLA RIGHTS
AMAZON sent a message around the cyberspace community as well as our little brick and mortar world by allowing parents of newborn children, who both work for Amazon, to transfer their time off days from one to the other. It is a great idea and in many cases will yield substantial benefits for an employer, e.g., only one employee’s position is disrupted, in some cases savings from a salary difference between the couple, a happier pair of employees, etc. This might be something to consider at all those union legislative conferences targeting changes they want out of Congress.
