Program Materials

This CLE webinar will provide guidance to employment counsel for efficiently navigating the maze of laws governing sick leave. The panel will review appropriate eligibility and accrual policies, how to reconcile overlapping requirements, discipline issues, and more.

Description

Many jurisdictions have implemented paid sick leave laws requiring employers to provide the benefit to its employees. Administering sick leave policies involves a maze of rules and regulations that make compliance difficult.

Varying regulations establish accrual and eligibility guidelines as well as recording and monitoring requirements. The complexity is exacerbated by the lack of federal coordination for this type of leave.

Disciplining employees for alleged abuse of sick leave presents specific legal risks. Counsel must guide employers in balancing their interest in protecting the company’s bottom line with employees’ rights to paid sick leave and the differing state regulations. Employers with a presence in more than one state can find this task extremely daunting. 

Listen as our distinguished panel provides strategies to best reconcile differing paid sick leave requirements. Panelists will review techniques to prevent abusive sick leave claims and discuss best practices for recording and monitoring employee hours and eligibility requirements.
