Extended Time Off Overview, Workplace Flexibility 2010, Georgetown University Law Center
Memos and Fact Sheets
Workplace Flexibility 2010 defines Extended Time Off (EXTO) as time taken off from work for a single reason that extends for more than five days but less than one year.
EXTO may be brief in nature (e.g., a few weeks), when taken, for example, for a vacation, to recover from minor surgery, or to comply with a public health quarantine request. EXTO may also be longer in nature (e.g., a month or more), when taken, for example, for maternity/paternity purposes, for elder care, for military duty, or for a sabbatical from work.
EXTO (either brief or prolonged) may be unpaid …

Fact Sheet On Extended Time Off (Exto), Workplace Flexibility 2010, Georgetown University Law Center, Urban Institute
Memos and Fact Sheets

- New children: More women and mothers are working, and there is an increase in the number of couples with children in which both parents work.

- The need for paid EXTO: Despite the …

Lower-Wage Workers And Flexible Work Arrangements, Anna Danziger, Shelley Waters Boots
Memos and Fact Sheets
Workers at all levels within an organization have the need to manage their work and personal/family responsibilities. Much of the past research on workplace flexibility has focused on managerial or professional positions, and thus, higher-wage jobs and workers with higher incomes. But more recently, researchers have begun to investigate the particular challenges of workplace flexibility for workers who do not fit this mold -- specifically, workers who are hourly, receive a lowerwage, or who live in lower-income families. Regardless of how they are defined, workers at the lower end of the wage and income spectrum have some unique workplace flexibility …
Jackpot Justice And The American Tort System: Thinking Beyond Junk Science, Tom Baker, Herbert M. Kritzer, Neil Vidmar
Jackpot Justice And The American Tort System: Thinking Beyond Junk Science, Tom Baker, Herbert M. Kritzer, Neil Vidmar
All Faculty Scholarship
In 2007 the Pacific Research Institute released a report, Jackpot Justice: The True Cost of America's Tort System, that is widely available on the internet. The conclusion of the report is that America's tort system costs $865.37 billion annually, amounting to an "annual price tag, or 'tort tax' for a family of four in terms of costs and foregone benefits" of $9,827. As our report will demonstrate, the conclusions of Jackpot Justice are without scientific merit and present a very misleading picture of the American tort system and its costs.
Research on the tort system's efficiency, its fairness and …

The Elder Economic Security Initiative™ Program: The Elder Economic Security Standard™ Index For Wisconsin, Jan E. Mutchler, Alison Gottlieb, Ellen A. Bruce, Laura Henze Russell
Gerontology Institute Publications
This report addresses income adequacy for Wisconsin’s older adults using the WOW-GI Elder Economic Security Standard Index (the Index) methodology. The Index benchmarks basic costs of living for elder households and illustrates how costs of living vary geographically and are based on the characteristics of elder households, including household size, home ownership or renter status, and health status. The costs are based on market costs for basic needs of elder households and do not assume any public or private supports.
Short Term Time Off: What We Know, Anna Danziger, Shelley Waters Boots
Short Term Time Off: What We Know, Anna Danziger, Shelley Waters Boots
Memos and Fact Sheets
Short Term Time Off (STO) refers to job-protected time away from the workplace to address anticipated or unexpected needs of limited duration. STO may be scheduled or unscheduled, depending on the underlying need. STO enables workers to address both the routine and emergency situations that occur in everyday life.
The need for STO may arise, for example, because a worker or worker’s child is sick or has a routine doctor’s appointment, because a worker has to wait for the plumber or apply for public benefits or go to court, or because a worker needs to attend a school conference or …
