Utah and 17 other states get a failing grade for laws governing workplace rights for new fathers. Several states offer private-sector workers at least one of the following benefits beyond those mandated by federal law:
Paid sick leave » Available to both men and women
Flexible sick leave » Workers who earn paid sick days may also care for family members
Paid family leave » Applies to both men and women
Family leave » More unpaid, job-protected days than what is federally mandated
Unpaid leave » Workers are permitted to care for children of domestic or civil union partners or same-sex spouses
