What are Kin Care and Safe Days?
Kin Care – Explicitly says that whatever kind of sick leave an employee earns, it can be used to care for a family member. May also expand to include accessing preventative care or other needs
Safe Days – Explicitly says that whatever kind of sick leave an employee earns, it can be used to deal with the physical, emotional, or legal impacts of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, or to seek safety

Safe Days & Kin Care would improve the lives of working North Carolinians and their families, while supporting survivors and strengthening public health.
