Does your employer offer paid leave?  Are you expecting a baby and need to figure out how to ensure you still have an income while on leave? Do you have a planned surgery on the horizon?  Do you anticipate needing time off to care for an aging parent or other relative?  While you may have general knowledge of federal laws that provide protections and baseline benefits for family leave, that may not be enough when you actually need to use it.  

It can be tricky navigating your work's leave policy and frustrating not knowing exactly where to begin.  Please join us on June 23rd for a lunch event where our speakers will answer your questions and ease some of your concerns surrounding securing paid leave. The lunch discussion will include examples of benefits offered from the perspective of multi-sized businesses, an overview of DC's new paid leave law, as well as a discussion of how a variety of benefit packages can be used to create a patchwork of paid leave.

Come learn how to optimize and advocate for the paid leave you need!

Please bring a brown bag lunch.
