New Handbook on Workplace Flexibilities and Work-Life Programs for Elder Care

October 8, 2015

To meet OPM's commitment to provide education on workplace flexibilities and work-life programs, and to support the Enhancing Workplace Flexibilities and Work-Life Programs Presidential Memorandum and the 2015 White House Conference on Aging, OPM is issuing a “Handbook on Workplace Flexibilities and Work-Life Programs for Elder Care.”  This handbook provides guidance on the various leave and work schedule flexibilities for eldercare, and also provides information on work life programs available to employees providing care for an elderly family member, including examples of how the programs can work together to help employees better manage family and work responsibilities.
