Integrating Family Medical Leave, Leave of Absence and Short-Term Disability Claims Administration
Are your clients feeling overwhelmed with the procedures and processes needed to administer leave management issues? Managing intermittent leaves, interpreting serious health conditions, recordkeeping and coordination with other plans are just a few of the challenges that Human Resources Departments across the country face every day.
The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 was designed to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities by allowing them to take reasonable unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons. The FMLA provides certain employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year. The employee's group health benefits must be maintained during that leave.
