AI Summary
This bill, known as the Honoring Family-Friendly Workplaces Act, directs the Secretary of Labor to establish a national certification program that recognizes employers who offer a range of family-friendly employment policies and benefits. To receive the certification, employers must provide assistance with fertility or adoption services, paid family leave of at least 12 weeks per year, paid sick days, child care subsidies or policies allowing parents to work alongside their infants, flexible work hours for parents, remote work options where feasible, and lactation support. Employers must apply for the certification, and the Secretary will review applications and award the certification to those that meet the specified requirements.
