VERBATIM: Paid caregiver time off is a rarity in the U.S., which has no federal law requiring employers to offer paid sick or family leave. AT&T’s Vice President of Global Benefits Juli Galloway said the company decided to offer caregiver leave, as well as expanding its parental leave. The moves are aimed at helping AT&T’s management employees balance their personal and professional lives in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
