What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Honoring Family-Friendly Workplaces Act," directs the Secretary of Labor to create a national certification program. The program would recognize employers who demonstrate a commitment to helping employees balance work and family obligations. To earn this "family-friendly certification," employers must implement specific employment policies and benefits. These requirements include provisions for paid family leave, sick days, and childcare assistance. The Secretary of Labor will review applications to ensure employers meet these established criteria.
