Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 1406, the Working Families Flexibility Act:

“As the son of a single parent and as a parent myself, I understand the struggles of balancing personal responsibilities with professional demands.  While there is certainly a need for monetary compensation, also very valuable is the flexibility to attend events like a child’s swim meet, a soccer practice, a parent-teacher conference, or other special occasions.

“Importantly, this bill retains current employee protections, including methods for accruing overtime.  It also includes protections to ensure that the choice and the use of paid time off are truly voluntary, with the goal of giving working parents and individuals more flexibility with and control of their time.”
