For example, I may have policies for working mothers that rival that of companies--generous maternity leave, flex time to accommodate parenting schedules, breast-feeding rooms, etc. But how do you handle the female employee who wants time off for her sick cat, or the gay male employee who wants the same amount of time off as an employee who has given birth? What if the employee is a never-married woman who needs leave for her fifth child? The point isn't how you as a business owner would handle any of the above. The point is your mind-set when it comes to handling a diversity issue that is different from the norm.
