Honoring Family-Friendly Workplaces Act
Congress Directs Labor Department to Certify Employers With 12 Weeks Paid Family Leave and Other Benefits
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill tells the Labor Department to create a national program that “certifies” employers as family-friendly.
- To earn the certification, an employer would have to offer a set of benefits, including at least 12 weeks of paid family leave each year.
- It also requires paid sick days that are separate from regular paid time off, plus help with child care (like a subsidy or safe ways to work near an infant).
- Employers would need policies for flexible schedules after a new child arrives, and remote work when feasible for child care needs.
- The certification would also require lactation support (like pumps/supplies and help while traveling). Employers would apply, and the Labor Department would approve or deny based on the rules.
