Almost 9 out of 10 Colorado workers have no paid family leave; meanwhile 26% have UNPAID leave. At some point, nearly everyone needs time away from work to care for family or themselves. You might need to recover from a serious illness or surgery …. or care for a sick child or a new baby … or tend to an aging parent. And yet: Work. Paycheck. Bills. For most working people, it’s nearly impossible to take time off from work and lose that paycheck to be a caregiver, but the alternative – going to work, leaving those who need you behind – is just as bad or worse. No one should have to choose between paying bills or caring for loved ones; between being an employee or a caregiver.
