Workplace eldercare programs have become a more common component of the work-family benefit package of employers in recent years. This pilot study examines the correlates of caregiving employees' use of workplace eldercare programs. Phone surveys were conducted with 115 employed caregivers; both users and nonusers were interviewed. Findings suggest that use is related to both the type of caregiving situation in which an employee is involved and the work-related burdens of the caregiving experience. The research and practice implications of the study are discussed.
