Leave programs that are highly valued by employees often include traditional forms of leave, like short- and long-term disability, as well as new, innovative programs like caregiver leave, well-being hours and expanded parental leave. While employers seek to offer scalable leave programs that are both consistent and fair, the emerging programs must be carefully managed as they may cause concern from a legal and compliance standpoint.
In this installment of the Thought Leadership Series, Jim Winkler talks with Garrett Hohimer, Vice President, Policy & Advocacy at Business Group on Health about the regulatory environment around leave and time away. The discussion offers insights about how employers can manage nuances based on location, get in front of unintended consequences of programs that are unintentionally discriminatory, plan for the potential for leave stacking, and more.
