Even the simplest leave requests can be complex and nuanced, posing challenges to even the most seasoned Leave Administrators.

Why Should You Attend?

Unpaid leave and Paid-leave regulations are getting complicated. As support grows for (and some business groups push against) a national law mandating paid family leave and paid sick days, some states, cities, and individual organizations are out in front—adopting measures of their own. This proliferation and mishmash of regulations can make staying in compliance challenges. This training will identify the current leave programs and how the state regulations integrate or clash.
