Erich Wagner, Government Executive
Democrats in the Senate introduced legislation this week that would provide federal employees paid time off if they need to care for themselves or family members.
The bill (S. 1174), introduced by Sens. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii; Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.; Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio; and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., mirrors bipartisan legislation already unveiled in the House.
