On the recordMarch 19, 1997
I was a working mother of four children. I also have 20 years of experience as a human resources professional. I know the challenges facing working moms and dads today. I know that for things to work at home, parents need real flexibility in the workplace. H.R. 1 does not help working parents because it does not let the employee choose when to use the comp time they have earned. The Miller substitute, however, is real comp time. It is real flexibility. It gives employees three ways to use their comp time: automatically, for family emergencies; at the employee's convenience, with 2 weeks notice; and with less than 2 weeks notice when it does not unduly disrupt business. The Miller substitute stands up for working moms and dads, allowing them the choices they need to perform their most important task: parenting. Let us vote for comp time that really means something. Vote for the Miller substitute.
