The same could be said for holding a job open for an employee in a similar situation who requires additional recuperation or healing time. While California’s disability leave provisions do not necessarily pinpoint exactly how much leave is necessary in this type of situation, the question is approached on a case by case basis with the Courts expecting employers and employees both to be reasonable. Unfortunately, there is not appropriate “one size fits all” policy that would allow us to use an exact formula to determine how much time is necessary for a reasonable leave of absence. It is evident that employers who automatically terminate employees who need additional time after utilizing the 12 weeks as provided in accordance with FMLA, may be found in violation of California labor law.

There’s no typical family as nuclear families as in the past and not everyone lives in a multigenerational household. Same-sex families are also on the rise as sexual ambiguity is undergoing its own wave of acceptance in all political, social, and economic spheres. With the absence of the parents’ presence in the home due to an inability effectively balance work and home life, children could develop an emotional void/absence. Good communicative dialogue between children and their parents where the adults describe their work situation as it relates to the home to create resilient children, could possibly benefit the household.

In a family there are many different roles; there's the role of the mother, the father, the child, the grandparents, then there’s the brothers and sisters.

It is possible that employers are not interested or unmotivated to make possible changes or allowance for physically disabled people within their organization

It is usually advisable to use the Bradford Factor as one of a number of absence policies. However, setting these triggers and making staff aware of them, in addition to taking action, resulted in the Prison Service reducing absenteeism by 18%. By implementing mandatory procedures for tackling absenteeism across an organization led by the Bradford Factor, an organization can remove the potential for differences across teams and management and remove the difficulties and reluctance that line managers often face when having to discipline a close staff member. The Bradford Factor can provide organizations with a two pronged method for tackling absence: proactively deterring absence in the first place and utilizing a set procedure to identify and tackle persistent absenteeism.

Poor mental health outcomes are associated with precarious employment (e.g. non-fixed term temporary contracts, being employed with no contract, and part-time work) (Artazcoz et al., 2005; Kim et al., 2006). Workers who perceive work insecurity experience significant adverse effects on their physical and mental health (Ferrie et al., 2002).

Bonnie Smith –Yackel in “My Mother Never Worked” is remembering her mother with the feelings of disdelief of how society views a stay at home wife. While some differences between “My Mother Never Worked” and “I Want a Wife” are evident, the similarities are noticeable.

The federal government saids “a woman who is a homemaker, who has never been a wage earner, is eligble for Social Security benefits only through the earnings of her deceased husband (Smith-Yackel 118). Bonnie Smith-Yackel I believe is shocked, and upset as she has realized, how hard her mother really did work.
