News You Can Use: Friday Fray gets on top of Paid Leave

If you've got a job, (an uncertain thing in today's topsy-turvy economy) chances are you're well aware of your company's leave policy. Are you on a traditional time off plan or has your organization made the switch to PTO leave blocks?

Whether you're simply wondering how the other side lives or searching for ways to modify your company's policies, tune in to this week's Friday Fray.

Ophelia Galindo, a principal at Buck Consulting, and Alison Avalos, a practice leader at WorldatWork, will answer your questions.

Register today because there are only a limited number of slots available for the online discussion, which will be held at 1:00 p.m. EST on Friday, Aug. 15, 2008.

If you would like to submit some questions in advance, e-mail EBN Managing Editor Leah Carlson Shepherd at leah.shepherd@sourcemedia.com.
