Let's face it, the complex, ever-changing Leaves landscape is a challenge for all stakeholders, and over time, the associated demands on employers are expected to only increase. Balancing statutory compliance, administrator burden, benefit harmonization and costs, not to mention attraction and retention, is no doubt daunting. The key is to break things into discreet, manageable components and optimally allocate resources to solve it.

Toward that end, our program offers an overview of the leaves landscape, discusses risks, cites best practices, offers a leaves checklist, and demonstrates how to tackle difficult employer scenarios.
