“…64 Paid leave has associations with worker well-being, financial security, and longevity. 65 Our study results pertaining to work leave are not always found in similar studies of organizational support (mostly international), likely due to our sample being based in the United States where there is no publicly mandated employment standard permitting workers paid time off for medical reasons. Rather, sick leave varies by employer, and 40% of U.S. workers do not have paid sick leave, 64 and part-time workers rarely have sick leave.…”

“…In our study, job-protected unpaid leave was perceived as important, but the value of paid leave employment benefits, such as sick days and vacation time, must be underscored as they relieve stress and prevent financial hardship by reducing the need to take unpaid time off during cancer treatment and recovery 64 .

Objective A more detailed understanding of unmet organizational support needs and workplace-based best practices for supporting cancer survivors is needed. Methods Ninety-four working breast cancer survivors responded to an open-ended survey question regarding the desired types of organizational support that were and were not received during early survivorship. We performed content-analysis of qualitative data. Results Major themes included instrumental support, emotional support, and time-based support. The need for flexible arrangements and reduced workloads was mostly met. Unmet needs included navigation/coordination, understanding/empathy, and time off for treatment and recovery. Conclusions Organizational support can help cancer survivors manage their health and work roles, diminishing work-health conflict and turnover intent. Study findings can be used to design targeted interventions to fulfill cancer survivors’ unmet organizational support needs, which may also apply to workers with other chronic health conditions.

“…Workers with PSL are less likely to show up for work when ill ( 1 , 2 ), are less likely to delay seeking medical care ( 2 ), and increase their use of outpatient care ( 3 ) while reducing their usage of emergency department care ( 4 ). Workers with PSL access have also been found to have higher levels of retirement savings ( 5 ). Employers that offer PSL experience reduced rates of occupational injuries and illness ( 6 ) and of overall leave-taking ( 7 ) among their workforces.…”

State policies that promote, and that inhibit, improved public health: An exploratory analysis of paid sick leave

The United States has no national requirement that employers provide paid sick leave (PSL) to their employees, despite the many established public health benefits of PSL access. Many states, and some localities, have passed laws requiring PSL within their jurisdictions. Past studies have shown that these PSL mandates are effective in promoting increased PSL access. However, past studies have not considered two other commonly-used state policy initiatives—PSL preemption and right-to-work laws—that could hypothetically influence employers' decisions to provide PSL. During the past few decades, all possible combinations of these policy interventions can be found in one or more U.S. states. This study estimates the combined associations of these 3 policies with PSL access. The estimates support recent research on the positive effects of PSL mandates, but also suggest that PSL preemption and right-to-work laws may have offsetting effects. Failure to take account of these additional policies may lead to an over-estimate of the effectiveness of PSL mandates.
