Give Us Your Opinion
The WBJ Daily Report Flash Poll seeks the votes and viewpoints of Central Massachusetts business leaders each week on a topic of importance. Please take a minute or two to read the question below and the details behind it, then cast your vote and add your opinion. The results will be announced in Thursday's edition of the WBJ Daily Report.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
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.

This week's Flash Poll seeks your vote and opinion on this topic. Voice your opinion now!
