Caregiver rights in the workplace refer to the legal protections and accommodations that are in place to support employees who have caregiving responsibilities for family members or loved ones.

Some common caregiver rights in the workplace include the ability to request flexible work arrangements, unpaid leave for caregiving purposes, and protection from discrimination based on caregiver status.

Employers can support employees with caregiving responsibilities by offering flexible work schedules, telecommuting options, employee assistance programs, and access to resources for caregivers such as support groups or counseling services.

Employees who feel their caregiver rights are being violated should first try to address the issue with their employer or HR department. If the issue is not resolved internally, they may consider filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or seeking legal advice.
