Does your organization allow employees’ children be present in the workplace?
There are a lot of reasons parents might request this, such as:
- Times when regular child care becomes unexpectedly unavailable. Babysitters, coparents, and other caregivers may get sick, or they may cancel unexpectedly for other reasons.
- Days when childcare availability ends before the workday does. One example of this is school hours, especially in school districts that have one or more days of the week when the schedule varies from the other days.
- When a child is sick and needs to be picked up from day care or school.
- When a child is injured and cannot attend regular care or school that day or needs to be picked up.
- School closures. Schools may shut down for things like weather issues or other problems.
