Caregiver AND Employee
This interactive session will explore the dilemma that employed caregivers currently face. Responsibilities for being that caregiver and being an employee often conflict. We will discuss the different aspects of each using examples of “real life” cases and discuss how both the caregiver and the employer react to those situations.

Are you entitled to time off? A leave of absence? Benefits? - What additional benefits your employer might offer?
Do they allow work at home? Unpaid time off? - What your ethical responsibilities are as an employee?
Including work ethic. - How should you approach your employer to ask for caregiving time off?
What not to say. - So how do you balance this?
And what are your priorities?
