DuPont Company DuPont Building 1007 Market Street Wilmington, DE 19898 WorkLife Programs In 1984, DuPont introduced child care at its headquarters in Wilmington, Del. Since then, the company has expanded its committment to supporting its employee families through WorkLife Programs that help balance the demands of home and job. The variety of WorkLife programs are designed to help integrate work life and home life, whether raising children or caring for a parent. These programs can help alleviate some of the strain and stress that accompany such responsibilities. Initially introduced in the United States, the WorkLife Programs are now being introduced to other regions, beginning with Europe. Child & Dependent Care § Depe ndent Care Spending Accounts These accounts enable employees to pay for child care expenses with pre-tax dollars. § Child & Dependent Care Related to Business Travel Incremental dependent care expenses are reimburseable for employees who have business travel away from home for one or more nights. § Backup Care This emergency/backup service links employees to a variety of dependent care options when an employee can’t miss a day at work due to their regular child care or dependent care arrangements falling through. One call can solve the problem with reliable, affordable backup care.
