Simple Explanation
In a new rule called the "Family Leave for Parental Involvement in Education Act," workers can take a little extra time off to go to their kids' or grandkids' school events and activities. They can have up to 8 hours off every 30 days, and not more than 48 hours in a year, but they need to tell their bosses a week before unless it's really urgent.
