Employment attorney provides working parents advice if they're forced to be home with kids because of COVID closures

The best option for single parents who need to stay home is to use the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), says an Arizona employment attorney. "It’s not paid time, but it’s at least job-protected. So in that type of scenario, it doesn’t solve the issue of, 'Hey, I’m not getting paid. But it does solve the issue of my job is going to be there for me in 2 weeks 3 weeks when my kid goes back to school," he explained.
