Leave of Absence Management
Lawsuits over Leaves of Absence are one of the most litigated areas of employment law.
The cost of non-compliance associated with leave laws can average between $87,5000 - $450,000* in damages alone for a single suit, not including the defense costs. Is your business at risk of making a mistake and putting the company in danger of fines and decreasing employee morale?

A leave of absence can be stressful for both the employee and the employer.
Strapped for time and resources, HR departments often struggle to keep up with changing guidelines and paperwork surrounding leave administration, creating a vicious cycle of frustration for the company and the employee. Beyond the risk of non-compliance, poor handling of leaves degrades employee morale and trust.
