N.S. committee recommends businesses make accommodations for employees with children amid COVID-19
“The provincial NDP has put forward a motion requesting all workplaces in Nova Scotia to include accommodations for employees with dependants in their plans for reopening amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
. . .
With schools closed, summer camps uncertain, and respite services limited, we know that many employees will face barriers to returning to work,’ said Claudia Chender, MLA for Dartmouth South.
. . .
‘Based on the best evidence we have now, we know that we will lose many hundreds, if not thousands, from the workforce, and most of those will be women (if accommodations won’t be included in the reopening plans),’ said Chender.
