"America needs a basic workplace standard that allows employees to earn paid sick days that they can use to recover from their own illness or to care for a sick family member."

"Finally, the study finds that parents who had paid time off are more than five times more likely to care for their sick children."

"If we are really committed to the American family, leave policies must be created so that everyone can achieve the work-life balance that is so frequently talked about."

"Almost half of our nation's working mothers report that they must miss work when a child is sick--but 49 percent of those mothers do not get paid when they miss work to care for a sick child."
