Senior Associates Cover "Workplace Protections For Employees Seeking Abortion Care" for Law360

                   

         

In the days and weeks following the Dobbs decision, several national employers ranging from Disney to Tesla have stepped up to offer travel benefits for their employees who must seek abortion care in another state.

The flexibility remote work offers is also a boon to companies competing for workers. However, as companies expand their work-from-home policies, they need to be mindful of how it can affect office culture and promotions.
