Sick Leave for Well People
Article Abstract:
Nordson Corp. has a unique program which enables employees to take time off to care for sick dependents. Under the program an employee gets between five and twenty-two days off per year which they can spend caring for a sick child, spouse or parent. The company feels the program reduces stress on employees torn between illness in the family and job responsibility, and has contributed to a low employee turnover rate at the company.
