The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is over 30 years old. Currently, most states have some form of employee leave law. The leave can be paid or unpaid. The laws might apply to only some employers. Employees might have to pay into a program, and employees apply for the pay from a state agency. Employers might also have to pay into the program, and might have to choose whether to allow employees to accrue paid leave or front load it. The leave might last from days to months.

The differences between the patchwork of state leave laws can be staggering, yet employers must consider the various aspects of both their state and federal obligations.

While no one could cover all details about every state leave law in such a short presentation, we will focus on what aspects employers must consider; what they should be looking at as they try to piece together their compliance quilt.

During this webcast, our leave experts will explain:

• The current trend in state leave law activity; including enactment of new laws and expansion of existing laws.
• Why the laws’ definitions are important, from which employers are covered to employees who are eligible to take leave.
• Concurrency between laws; whether leave under a state law may run concurrently with federal FMLA, helping to avoid stacking of leave.

This complimentary event will also include a live Q&A session!
