In this episode, Miller Johnson employment attorneys Rebecca Strauss and Sarah Willey discuss the growing workplace challenges created by employees who are caring for aging parents, often while still raising children themselves. As the “sandwich generation” becomes more common, HR professionals are increasingly navigating complex leave requests, accommodation questions, and discrimination risks.

They walk through how the FMLA, ADA, and state paid leave laws intersect when employees need time off to support parents with medical needs, including situations involving psychological care, assisted living, and complicated family dynamics.
