It’s always a good idea to understand your workplace benefits. Your workplace might even offer caregiver specific benefits including flexible work options, counseling and support services, eldercare referrals, or Paid Time Off (PTO) for caregiving. States may also differ in the types of support offered to caregivers by employers. You can learn about these supports and others including FMLA and how to build a caring community from AARP‘s publication Caregiving While Working.
