The FMLA assistance with the Ease you’ve been waiting for…
The ever-changing leave management landscape is proving to be an administrative headache for employers. The Family and Medical Leave Act is a law that requires covered employers with 50+ employees to provide job-protected and unpaid leave for qualified medical and family reasons. These include pregnancy, adoption, foster care placement of a child, personal or family illness, or family military leave. As the industry changes, it is increasingly difficult to keep up with the consistent changes, regulations, and laws that this Act entails. Many employers are finding relief in outsourcing a portion if not all of their FMLA burden, as many companies simply cannot keep up.
Employers who manage their own FMLA have the most difficulty with the following:
- Tracking intermittent FMLA leave
- Concurrently managing FMLA leave-taking
- Transferring employees to alternative positions
- Denying leave requests
These common challenges are similar to the common mistakes identified by the Department of Labor. One is the failure to track FMLA time properly, which aligns very closely to the challenge of tracking FMLA intermittent leave. Often times with intermittent leave, an employee may be taking leave so frequently that it is difficult to ensure all intermittent leave absences are captured and documented. Especially if the employer is manually tracking absences.
Here at BASIC, we provide varying levels of FMLA and leave administrative support based on the needs of each employer. For small to mid-sized employers with a moderate frequency of FMLA claims, we provide expert assistance and compliance designed to aid in managing all types of FMLA events.
