In this episode, Niall asks, Should you get paid leave from work for the death of a pet? Inspired by a new law in New York allowing workers paid time off for pet bereavement, the conversation explores whether pets should be recognized as family members deserving of bereavement leave or if this trend is going too far.Some callers think paid leave for pet loss is a great idea, arguing that pets are deeply cherished members of the family. They point out that grieving a pet can be as emotionally taxing as losing a human loved one, and a few days off to cope seems reasonable. These callers feel that if mental health is prioritized in the workplace, pet bereavement should be acknowledged as part of that commitment.Other callers, however, believe paid leave for pet loss is excessive. They feel that while losing a pet is undoubtedly painful, it's a personal matter that should be managed with existing leave options like personal or holiday days. For them, offering paid leave for pet loss could set an unsustainable precedent, making it hard for businesses to maintain fair policies.Niall wraps up by considering both perspectives, questioning where the line should be drawn when it comes to bereavement in the workplace.

Mike Ferguson in the Morning 10-17-24 Elias Tsapelas, Director of State Budget and Fiscal Policy at the Show-Me Institute, talks about Missouri's Proposition A regarding minimum wage and paid time off.  A new report from the Show-Me Institute, authored by Elias, examines the implications of Missouri's upcoming minimum wage proposal. The ballot measure, which will go before voters on November 5, 2024, calls for an increase in the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026. The report raises concerns about the short-term and long-term effects such an increase may have on the state's economy, workforce, and business climate. The research indicates that minimum wage increases often lead to reduced hours, fewer job opportunities, and lower overall earnings for the very workers it is intended to assist. If the ballot measure passes, Missouri's minimum wage would be tied with that of Illinois and Nebraska as the highest in the region by 2026. This could place the state at a competitive disadvantage compared to neighboring states. Read his overview here: https://showmeinstitute.org/publication/minimum-wage/the-minimum-wage-in-missouri/ Check out his full policy brief here: https://showmeinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20241003-Minimum-Wage-Tsapelas.pdf (https://showmeinstitute.org/)     NewsTalkSTL website: https://newstalkstl.com/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/NewsTalkSTL Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/NewstalkSTL Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewsTalkSTL Livestream 24/7: bit.ly/NEWSTALKSTLSTREAMSSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every year, millions of vacation days are rendered worthless to the employees who earned them. As employees accrue vacation time, the value of that time sits as a liability on a balance sheet and that number can drastically increase over time. While the first option for employees should be to use all their paid time off, the next best solution is to gain value from a benefit that would otherwise expire. Joining Bill Banham on the show this time is Rob Whalen, CEO & Co-founder at BNFT (formerly PTO Exchange), the first benefits platform that allows employees to self-direct the value of their unused paid time off (PTO) for other needs and causes. About Rob WhalenRob is a serial entrepreneur who has over 25 years of experience selling and developing software and hardware products.While building the company, Rob and his co-founder, Todd Lucas, found their mission was to enable flexibility in those benefits that employees earned but could not utilize. They also discovered that by enabling this capability and accountability, BNFT created equity and inclusion for workers to be compensated for their accrued productivity - creating a better benefit.About BNFT (PTO Exchange)BNFT is a comprehensive benefits platform for employees to unlock the full flexibility and value of their total rewards while providing HR teams with a low-cost and easy-to-use tool. PTO Exchange and LPA Exchange are powered by BNFT, which brings innovative solutions via one platform.

Welcome to episode 3 of The F Word at Work from Fertility Matters at Work ( FMAW) which we are sharing with you one week after the three of us, Natalie, Becky and Claire went to Parliament to join our guest Nickie Aiken as she launched the Fertility Workplace Pledge. Nickie is the Conservative MP for the Cities of London and Westminster and along with the pledge, is bringing forward a private members bill for people undergoing fertility treatment. The episode was recorded in the summer following the first reading of Fertility Treatment (Employment rights ) bill and was a conversation between Nickie, Natalie ( FMAW) and Kate Davies who is our medical advisor at FMAW. Thanks once again to our series sponsor Apricity. What was discussed: How Nickie learnt of this issue from one of her constituents who was forced out of a job and had to agree on a NDA which left a nasty taste in her mouth and she came to Nickie as she didn't want anyone else going through it. How it's the last taboo when it comes to maternal services The misconception is that IVF is needed solely by career women in their 40s who have had their careers and now want a career, but it also affects women in their 20s and 30s. How she hopes to ensure colleagues can support others who might be going through it How Nickie was surprised to be talking to a big company who she spoke to about the Bill and they were surprised they didn't have a policy Whilst there isn't an employment bill that this can slot into and whilst ideally we shouldn't need a law, Nickie highlights why we need a law in order for people to be better supported. Following the first reading of the Bill has happened Nicky did a speech in Parliament which you can read here Within the Women's Health Strategy launched earlier in the summer, Nickie made sure IVF and fertility treatment was included and she believes this means the argument about women's health is a priority has been won. Baroness Anne Jenkins made a speech listing every medical situation a girl goes through.
