This bill directs the Secretary of Labor to establish a national certification program that recognizes employers as "family-friendly" workplaces. To qualify for certification, employers must offer a comprehensive package of benefits including at least 12 weeks of paid family leave annually, paid sick days separate from other time off, childcare subsidies, flexible work arrangements, remote work options for caregiving needs, lactation support, and assistance with fertility or adoption services. The certification program applies to employers covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act and is intended to incentivize companies to adopt policies that help workers balance job duties with family responsibilities. The bill does not specify implementation timelines but authorizes whatever funding is necessary for the Department of Labor to establish and operate the certification program.
