Employee Benefits Blog

As an employer, it is crucial to consider the diverse needs and preferences of the workforce when designing a Paid Time Off (PTO) program.

We, therefore, thought it might be fitting on our newest federal holiday, Juneteenth, to delve into the topic of selecting holidays for your PTO program, aiming to find a balance that pleases the majority of your workforce.

While advocating for a well-rounded approach, we’ll also make sure to explore the potential challenges and implications that arise when trying to please everyone.  

The growing complexities of managing employee leave programs have led many employers to consider outsourcing their workforce absence management programs.
 
As we discussed in our last blog and on-demand webinar “Designing a Compliant PTO Program”, the pace of change in this area of employee benefits is somewhat unprecedented, due mostly, though not entirely, to growing legal requirements set forth at state and local levels.
 
A successful absent management program assists your employees with taking the time away from work when needed, as well as returning them to productive and contributing members of your organization. Elements of an absence management program include FMLA, short and long-term disability, paid time off, worker’s compensation, as well as other paid/unpaid leave programs, such as paid parental, sabbaticals, or other personal time.
 
To better prepare employers for this growingly complex area of employee benefits, we’ve put together this second webinar, which should help employers determine whether insourcing or outsourcing is the best strategy for their organization.

Designing a compliant Paid Time Off (PTO) program is a delicate balance between meeting the evolving needs of your employees and the growing legal requirements set forth at state and local levels.

Case in point - mandatory paid sick leave. Laws requiring paid sick leave have grown exponentially during the past eight years. And because paid sick leave laws are based on where an employee works, not on where they get their work assignments, multi-site employers and those with remote workforces are having a challenging time getting their arms around all of this.

To better prepare employers in this quickly evolving sector of employee benefits, we’ve put together this webinar, one of two thus far in our workforce absence management series.

This particular webinar is divided into three sections. The first section addresses the exponential growth of paid sick leave across the United States, while the second section discusses what’s currently being offered in the marketplace. The third and final section lays out options for keeping your paid time off program in compliance. You can watch this on-demand webinar simply by clicking here.
