Abstract:

Get the facts on the dramatic labor market changes that result in more and more workers facing dual and dueling responsibilities– those at work and those at home. Businesses that recognize this tension address it through responsive scheduling and paid time off; and, these businesses benefit from cost savings when they do. Getting Punched suggests 10 ways that government should get more involved in promoting responsive workplaces for workers of all wages. It’s about time.
