Various federal and state regulations require employers to provide employees with leave for qualified medical and family reasons. Though most regulations do not require the employees to be paid during their leave, some do. Even when leave compensation is not required, offering paid leave can improve the quality of talent your organization retains and build employee loyalty and satisfaction. Paid leave program development is essential to staying competitive and caring for your team.
With a variety of options from paid vacation and sick time to voluntary leave transfer, disability, and more, it’s crucial to organize your leave types and communicate clearly with your employees about how and when to use them. How does your organization plan and execute your leave program? How do you track and manage FMLA compliance and other relevant local, state, and federal guidelines?
Navigating the complexities of regulatory compliance for paid and unpaid leave programs and maintaining a program that is competitive with other employers in your market segment requires a high level of organization and insight with ongoing attention to legislative and statutory changes. Adapting and communicating your benefits to ensure usage, understanding, and transparency is critical to employee satisfaction and team cohesion.
