Paid Leave and caregivers.

The Paid Leave Podcast

Caregivers are essential to families. Sometimes they have to make hard choices between taking care of a loved one or working. Connecticut Paid Leave gives them some relief by giving up to 12 weeks of income replacement, so you don't have to make such difficult choices.
The AARP was instrumental in helping to get the Paid Medical and Family Leave Act signed into law, knowing that caregivers needed more flexibility. On this episode I spoke with the AARP Assistant State Director of Advocacy and Outreach, Anna Doroghazi. Anna talked about the coalition that banded together to make sure CT Paid Leave became a reality. She also talked about caregivers and the increasing need for intermittent leave, a provision CTPL allows as well as reduced schedule leave.
Also joining the conversation was AARP volunteer Barbara Munck who testified on behalf of the CT Paid Family and Medical Leave Act. She is a trained volunteer and caregiver team and presents their Caregiving Roadshow around the state. Barbara has had extensive experience with being a family caregiver to her sister, mother, child, and husband. Her experiences made her realize how important CT Paid leave is to caregivers across the state.
